I am going to let it settle and then once it does I will get blocks that will make it sit a little more like the stock rake. It should come down a bit in the front over time. If $$$$ were no object I would have spent more on the tires.....But they arent cheap. I have put alot of $ into her over the last 4 months. All in due time.

I beat the hell out of a Rough Country lift on my old TJ.. I am curious to know how it rides. I would have no issue buying another one of their products! Looks good! I really need to find me those wheels!

Yeah, Its hard for me to compare how it rides just because it was all shot before so it rode like crap then.....It seems pretty decent.

it looks awesome, dont take off the factory wheels their the best lookin wheels. I went out of my way to get the factory alcoa stile ones for my F150. And good idea painting the underside, i did the same before winter but i used rustoleum, and sent it threw a cheap harbor freight gun i run with my compressor.

Thanks, I'm not sure about tinting the windows(have thought about it)...You can get a ticket for that here. My old room mate got like 3. Yes the blocks are stacked right now cause that is what comes with the kit. I am planning on putting in 1 block once it settles so I know what size I want.

When you do get tires this place sells them pretty cheap. The General Grabber AT2's are a good tire!

Cool. Thanks. I picked up the ones that are on it for $100 and they have actually a good amount of tread on them. That was a deal I couldnt pass up. The way I drive the truck I think they will last a while.

my thoughts , get the 4 inch rearched leafs and get rid of the rear blocks altogther. otherwise, yes it looks great! great job!

frame painting, i had used the rustoleum dirty metal primer and black paint, lasted barley a year , i am trying this time the eastwoods rust encapsulator with the rustoleum paint.

i hate the underside being all nasty!
