Yeah, I found the spacers, shackels, lca's, and 1.5" tc drop for 225. I was wondering about the shocks though

Usually flex out shocks being carefull to not over extend. That will show your extended length and collapsed. You usually want to go about a 1 under your extended and collapsed you'll have to bump stop accordingly so you don't bottom the shock out.

Check out the charts on their catalog find a part for the lift you want the go back to their main page search by part number and it will tell you the specs ext and collapsed. You can then go and try to find some locally that match those specs or online.

All I found was that they are made for 3 to 4 inches of lift, I emailed them and asked for the specs.

Well zj shocks are longer too by a inch and so are the rear of the mj. So you can kinda get an idea but you need to figure out extended and collapsed first and bump stop.

Use this pic and then put the part number on the search on this page. This pic is from their offroad catalog. The page I sent before.

Ordered these tonight. https://froehlichsuspension.3dcartst...rade_p_39.html Can't wait to be able to see at night again. Week long + fab time though. I was planning on getting Truck Lites for X-mas from myself but for half the cost and the great light pattern I could not pass them up.

I seen on his facebook page that he had finished them didn't know how much about the ballasts. Everyone that I have seen that has hids had problems with the ballast. The only decent hid kit was around 250 , the PIAA hids kit was around 400. I like them but for the most part I think I would still stay with my conversion and harness imo.

Did you need to cut the bolt or was it just easier

I bought 2 hids kits when I put them in my MS3. In the 2 years they were installed I had to replace 1 ballast.

I had to it was to long to get that tool on there without cutting it down. With a bigger type of puller I would not of had to.
