Looks good, I have a black renegade also and I put on MT/Rs on last week. I just need to buy the spare to match. After that Super Skink Sliders.

niiiice dude!! 8) And pre- and post-lift height measurements from the pinchweld or another fixed point on your jeep?

Again it looks awesome!! I'm pretty much convinced that the Rusty's coil lift is the one for me (and so is my wife since it's $400 cheaper than the Frankenlift :D ). I'm anxious to see how you like it after driving it for a few weeks.

I compleatly flaked on getting measurements in stock form and have not bothered measuring it after.

I am thinking that the sliders are going to be my next mod as well. I guess great minds do think alike.

It just keeps looking better and better with each new picture! Can't wait to see the next one of you on a big old rock using your sliders.

Any problems with your install? Was it harder or easier than you thought and did you use the ranchos' for your rear shocks? And yes it looks great..

The install was very strait forward but it was not my first tim messing with suspention stuff and I have a set of spring compressors. The whole think took about 3-4 hours. The rears only took about 30 min. of that. I just diid the standard shocks and I also installed the frone strut plate. I figured if I had a problem with Rustys shock I could always pick up the Ranchos later and have them out and in in 15-20 min. Thanks for all the kind words guys.

I have to say the last picture with the MT/Rs really makes a whole world of difference.
It went from looking street to 4X4.
I second that motion to keep us posted on how it does over the next several weeks.
