I'm not convinced bigger is better yet. Seems that we move less than a mile in 3 hours. Not complaining about stopping here and there but having 15 jeeps in the creek is pretty slow going. Gone are the days of 4-5 of us tearing it up for hours out there.

Bigger isn't always better no, but it's rare that we have a large group out there. And we have to remember that we don't all have a cb so the only real way to communicate with the whole group is stop. As well as we have all different skill levels and some need a little more time and I personally don't mind waiting for the whole group to make it past a certain point before proceeding. Y'all need to stick around longer. The real fun begins after dark...

Well it's darker earlier so I will be there after dark someday. I plan on adding 2-4 offloading lights in the front for night runs

I bought wiggles other jeep this last weekend that he was going to part out. Got my lift on it and transfer case in yesterday. Did a little engine work tonight and fired it up for the first time. Took it around the block and probably pissed off a few neighbors. The exhaust is cut off at the crossmember. I may have the wheels and tires that were on it sold too. Frees up some cash. I will be doing floor pans soon. Anyone done that yet?

Sounds great man, and I haven't done mine. I think wiggles is the only one here that has.

The aal that came with the kit gives 2.5" of lift and the kit also came with a 2" longer shackle to make the 4.5" total. So yes you should get 2.5" of lift from it
