Bought me an arb recovery strap a dring 2 inch hitch. Bought a used trailer hitch $ 20 craigslist, prepped and painted it ready to install that and my JCR gas tank skid tomorrow. Trimmed my front fenders. Installed my cherokee forum sticker. My nose is full of black paint lots of fun.

I got the RC 4.5 kit with AAL. And i think it had spacers in it aready. like 1/2 or 3/4, i need to measure. the rear leaf bolts were a pain, not as bad as vids i have seen tho. I pre wd-40 like 2 days before on all bolts that were going to be removed also bushings. got the front done in about 2.5hr . Track bar is a pain in the *** tho, would recomend anyone doing a lift to get one. I didnt have funds for one so i just did the drilling dead on 3/4 and the axle is off to the driver side. will get adj track asap. other than that great. rides real nice in the rear with no swaybar. front still stiff

Your head gasket should be fine. did it start to over heat at all?
