Prepping for my bastard pack lift, went to install new brake hoses last night, realized the 95 wrangler hoses i bought werent set up to mount right so did a little fab work to get them on there, then one of them came stripped from the factory. Anyone know how strict summit racing's return policy is? Had to go get the right ones from O'rileys and don't want to be out $50 for the defective set

Installed an Optima tonight after the old battery crapped out and left me dead in a Goodwill parking lot.

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of "like new" 4.5" RE coils on Amazon, +/-$60 shipped. Time to start compiling parts for the front lift!

Edit: up next, control arm drop brackets, adj trackbar, extended b-lines, discos, extended bpe's, and boxing in factory control arms( for now), and last all new control arm bushings!
