Yep, tommudd and I (mostly tommudd) installed my Rustys coil lift today. It looks great, and I'm sure will perform just as well! Heres some after installation pics, mine is the Dark Red one and tommudd's is the Black one with the sweet bumper!

Yeah, I'm having about as much luck getting these photos to embed as we did taking of the sway bar.... :roll:

I just edited to put in links since embedding clearly isnt going to cooperate with me today...

Yep, 2 on each side here too. I think it turned out looking pretty level, which is what I wanted.

I just thought it was funny that the XJ had the rear tire mount and thought that maybe it had KJ envy. The blurry spot is the guts of some unfortunate bug on my window who met it's demise on my way back from Tom's :roll:

spencevans....good last name same as mine! (or I assume its Evans) :wink:
Mine sits completely level front to rear. Only came down maybe 1/8 or a little more even after 25000 miles. Still may do just a bit more someday just to keep up with everyone else :lol: :lol: have everything laying in the garage to do it.

*sigh*... yeah, probably not a good idea. What time do you think you'll be done on the trail and heading home?

I can't speak for the other five, but I'll probably be pulling out of the Badlands about 2:15. I have some landscaping projects that need my attention that evening, plus this is my 5-year-old's first time offroad. I don't think she'll hold out for long after lunch.
