I was able to order the Autospring complete 2" lift kit about 2 weeks ago. I finally got the time to install everything yesterday. The install was pretty straight forward, witht he exception that I was missing a required socket. The directions has you remove the forward bolt on the lower control arm to make room for the longer strut during the reinstallation. I thought I had a 21mm socket, but apparently did not. I was able to get around this step by removing the axle nut which allowed the lower control arm to droop even further allowing me to slide the lower shock mount into position. Other than having to figure that out and fighting rusted fasteners everything went smoothly.
I'm quite happy with the results. I started out at 37" up front and 39 1/4" out back. after the install I ended up with 39 1/2" up front and 41 1/4" out back.

thanks... I will admit though, with a little extra room between my tires and the fenders I noticed a lot of surface rust. It was either that or my new upper control arm on the passengers side with it's shiny new paint. Either way I pucked up some satin black enamel paint and touched up a few areas. What a world of difference a rattle can can make!
