I'll have to check if that's my finals week, but if not I'm sure I wouldnt mind taking a weekend off the college life to go!
Also would need to check the distance from school so I know what to save up

My measurements from the lift:
(3" front, 3.5" rear, 33" tires)
Before:
Front: 32.5 | Rear: 29.5 | Front Bumper: 18.5
After:
Front: 39 | Rear: 39 | Front Bumper: 23.5
Keep in mind I do have trimmed fenders, but I measured to the same spot before and after.
Also found out today that my original CF stickers *did* get forwarded to my mom's house from Germany. Since the site sent me 2 more after I explained the problem, I now have four. That means one for the back and one for the front

If you are measuring lift with the tires on, aren't your mesurements off? For example, I went from a 29" tire to a 31 inch tire but that didn't give me 2 inches. I only added 1 inch for the tire.

A 2" difference in tire size will only net 1" lift cause only half of the diameter is below the axle. But yes, I measured before I started anything, and then after everything was done. I just wanted to know my change in actual height.

I've been looking for a set of those door panels form my xj (mine's a 4 door) forever. I live the vinyl dominance over what I have of all carpet. Anywyas, looks nice! I wish places made better fitting seat covers for XJs though .
Also, anyone think it's be difficult to just re-upholster my door panels myself?? other than the seats they're the stock color left on the interior.

thanks! and yeah the front seat covers fit nice.. the rear on the other hand not so much. eventually i want to do the whole interior black instead of the grey and then camo where the carpet is on the door. but for now she is complete lol.

you could so that also - it's thick pressboard stuff - maybe 1/8" thick
