Or instead of going with the 2 newest and unproven lift kits, go with Old Man Emu or RTE, yes they cost a little more but they are so worth the difference.
As for the Pro Comp shock, they are pure junk when used on our Rovers and if you have any wheeling back ground you will regret installing them right away.
Go to Luck 8 or call Justin and look at their OME lifts at some of the best prices on line.

my mother in law was looking for something she could get for me as a Christmas gift, I guess I'll go for socks.

I'm not going to say to her, thanks for your $500.00 offer, but, I think the $800.00 option is the better way to go.

I'll probably buy the Super Gaz medium kit. I've heard decent things about that.

And, yes, I have a decent wheeling background...

Ugh:.. That's why I recommended terra firma best in the price range.

Wanna trade mother-in-laws? Would she go for getting you a gift certificate? If it were me, and she would likely tell me no to a gift certificate, I'd install the kit and live with it and be thankful. Besides, it can't be worse than the worn out stock suspension...(knock on wood)

what's cool is Lucky 8 is right near my folks house!

I'll check it out.

And I would hope that *anything* would be better than my worn out suspension.
