Zero difference on the highway or off road! I drive up to 80MPH and all my D2's feel exactly the same with it removed. If anyone claims it feels different I'd be inspecting your frame for rust lol.

Well the lift is in the rig :-) wow drives so much better. Still have the old tires on it. And now found out have a front caliper that is funky and the rear ones the slide pin boots need to be replaced. Re greased them all.
took me longer than I wanted. Had to cut the nuts off the sway bar links on 3 of them.
I went with the longer sway bar links too.
deleted the cross bar in the front that made doing the front easier too.
And did clear coat all the parts too.

Looks good. My front shock towers fell apart in my hands when I did mine. Had to get the beefy ones from TF

Default Just put on the same set up

I put this same set up on minus the sway bar links. Have had some issues with height consistencies. . .
Front passenger 21.25 inches
Rear passenger 20.5 inches

Front driver 20.75 inches
Rear driver 20.25 inches

measured from bottom of flare to center wheel.

I am going to swap front springs to see if it levels it out. I am also thinking about putting 1in spring spacers in to level it out. Any thoughts on that?

Mine is level now with this so I know I had a lot of sag in it and now with it done I can see how bad it was. Drivers front shock when unbolted just compressed down all on its own right off the bat. Passengers side did same thing just not as fast.

test fitted front tire on drivers side and ran it through the steering and no rubbing at all :-)

only problem I have is it don’t fit on spare tire holder too tall. I have read where people flip it around but how does that effect the rear wiper blade??

and yeah I need side steps hahahaha

Good looks on the lift! Grab some center caps for the wheels from eBay - I paid $15 for four.
