If your rear bumper has a receiver just stick your pin in it and your ready to go ;D

how do you like the RC 2.5" lift?  It looks like a freakin bargain, and add a 1" BL and you can fit 33's.  You'll be fine riding on 31s, I do.  I've just made my priority armor, if you're gonna sit low, you're gonna bang on some stuff so you might as well be protected.

I like the lift.  They gave me a really good deal that I couldn't pass up.  I got the lift, stabilizer and quick disconnects.  I still have to work out some things.  I got some mild vibration so I will need to add some more washers to the transfer case.  I really didn't want to use the 1" transfer case drop kit.  Also, I had about 3/4" axle shift so I need to install the OME bracket to recenter the axle.  Other than that I love the kit.  The 2.2 shocks are a lot nicer from what I hear from their old shocks.  I would buy it again.  Let me know if you want to drive mine around to see if you like it.

I can't believe you had vibes with that little lift. I ran a 2" BB with nothing but each jeep is different. ;)
I've grown tired of this.

I have heard that some kits are 1 3/4" because at 2" you have a 50/50 chance of vibes, but it's very rare at 1 3/4".  Go figure.

I just had tires put on 3 weeks ago by 4 Wheel Parts in Norcross. I left for a week and when I came home and opened my garage I seen something under my jeep. All of the stick on weights had fallen off all of the wheels. I tried sticking them back on but they just fell off again. And now because I'm movig to Miami I don't have time to take it back to them to redo, which I would be wasting my time if there just going to put more stickers on my wheels ::)

I got stick on weights. I prefer them. When are you leaving for FL? I am sure Albert would fix them if you call.
