And I have pics to prove it! Also, thanks to jinstall for assisting with the installation.

This is a side by side with me and jinstall. Mine has the tire cover.

It just so happens the guy in the stall next to us is selling off his Moabs wrapped in Goodyear mt/r's and wanted to see how it looked on the KJ.

I shall get more accurate measurements once I let it settle, but it's around 21 inches now. OME HD springs and Koni adjustable shocks are full of win. :pepper: :pepper: :pepper: :pepper:
Also, the pics are way small apparently, but this is my first time dealing with posting pics online like this so, do tell me how to fix that if you know.. :oops:

Edit: Fixed it!

On a final note, if anyone wants a write-up for the process, then I'll be happy to do so. It was a lot simpler than I thought it would be, though I do give a good deal of credit to jinstall for the assistance. Definitely have help when doing this your first go. 8)

What did you end up doin to your pinchwelds? It looks to me that you ground them off completely. I wondered how many ppl went ahead and ground them down instead of taken the time to pound the pinchweld out and mess with the fender well liner. But I hear it may compromise the integrity?? :dead:

Actually it is pounded, but yes we also just cut the liner instead of heat it, simply because of the tools we had. Plus jinstall had some spare spray paint so it all worked out well.

it ws a great time. No stress and just taken our time. Just wish that phone call had come about an hour later :( Hope to be a part of another install again.

Crazy how much higher his is compared t mine with a 40mm (1.5") lift.
