Not a lot of time to go into detail, still tired from cutting holes in the
top of the frame, and only time to post one pic. So far I am netting 5.25"
of lift. 4.25" from the springs, 1" from the tires.

Very nice, Carl.

Now do mine! ;) Actually, if I can ever find a pair of OEM front springs
from a V8 ZJ, I'll do a budget boost.

What vehicle do you have, and how much lift would this get you?
(Looking for budget lit ideas myself for my 95 XJ)

Nope. The sig is correct. I always buy from www.offroadtoystore.com Chris is
a great guy. Free shocks with every lift. No affiliation, and I get nothing
for this, but tell him Carl in Spokane sent ya.

That is correct. Rubicon typically under-rates thier lift. Also, consider
that my stock suspension was sagging. The advertised 3.5" is calculated
based on a brand new stock suspension. Also keep in mind that I do expect
some settling. Every lift is different. Please see the updated post for more
pictures.
