The first pic is as I bought it back in February.

The next couple are in the garage the day I finished the lift and tires.

The next couple of shots was fooling around to check out the rear axle articulation :!:

Thanks guys!
Yea it is the Daystar 2.5" lift. It took about 8 to 9 hours for me to install. It was very easy using "KJ Taz"'s very well written and photographed instructions. GregScuba's notes for the "CRD" application and JeepKJ02 & KJ Lad's front and rear torque specs, all of which I got on this site! The worst part was putting the struts back together so it aligned properly when I re-installed it. But it's much easier on the second strut :!:
I have put all the information in a great PDF, but haven't figured how to post it yet... If someone on the forum would put it up, I'd be glad to email it to them.

Did you get new shocks or anything with that lift, or just the spacers? How does it drive?

Looks great MaineSleddah! After I put mine on, I swear it handles and rides better. Have you noticed that too?
