Default Installed my lift today

Took Rover to Ft Detrick MD today and used the auto hobby shop to install my lift. It took me 6 hours to get it installed. It was nice using the lift and other goodies they have there. cost me $24 to use the shop. Here she is!

That does look nice.

I don't want to lift mine, but I've been thinking about replacing the springs just to restore the ride to its original quality.

It wasn't too bad? 6 hours seems like it was a breeze.

Well I would highly recommend a lift if you're going to do all that work. The 2in is not extreme. I'm running 245/75/16 treadwrights which fit stock but it was a tight fit. It just looks great and rides great!

I have to get an alignment today though.

First time may be 6 hours, but second time should be around 2.5 or so.

Well it should have been quicker but I made a couple of mistakes. The worst part for me was getting the front shocks at the bottom connected. Lining up the shock, spring perch plate and axle all lined up.
