Just got back from Eddo's where we installed the Rusty's suspension lift on my KJ. Thanks again Eddo for all your help. Thanks for also spotting that tranny issue. I've ordered the skid so that I don't collect any more of those surprises. Anyway, here's a pic of the Renny before the 2.5" lift

and after

Looks great! Rusty makes an excellent lift. It will drive like a completely different Jeep offroad now!

Yeah, I had been planning on doing it for a while and finally saved enough money to spring for the lift. Picked up a pair of jack stands and a sledge hammer to pounded out my pinch weld today. A dremmel, some love taps, and some truck bedliner paint later and it's done. Now I'm all set for those new Wrangler Silent Armor's to be installed on Tuesday. Those and the tranny skid will complete the enhancements for this year then it's off to the trails. I plan on going to the June 3 Haspin Acres run so I'll see you there JasonK.

Here's a couple pics of my work on the pinch weld.
