i can take pics of wiring and location to walk you through it just let me know...I drilled holes after measuring and making sure they had room under hood then drilled them with hood proped to keep from drillin holes in coolant res. and anything else a 4inch long drill bit can hit when it runs through....i wired them to factory foglights since there was already a switch and the fog light harnesses were hanging there..cliped plugs and spliced. i like them and they work excellent at night in the woods...

Well, I have 4 inch coils for the front and am going to create a bastard pack for the rear. With that much lift though, I am going to need to get a sye, control arms, track bar(needs replacement anyway).

Sorry for hijacking the thread!
