    So 2400 for everything front and rear? Holly molly 750 install, is it a project you recon a weekend warrior could handle putting on with a friend and a 12 pack? Looking forward to seeing it in action!

    I believe 1.375" right now. There is a bit more threading hidden under the coils. probably 4-5 more rows, i just got a bit more careful about going all the way to the edge but i am going to crank it out even more and i will let you know the measurement after that.

    Oh thor i apologize for missing this comment.

    yeah it was down in 4 four hours by two guys at the shop. it is very easy i just dont have the tools.

    i just took an accurate reading at 1.5" of thread showing. for a total of 3.5" of lift

    sweet kit pieced together lift. they undoubtedly inmproved the 5 lug design on gen 2's.

    Although leaving your sway bar on seems a little counter active to all the fine work you just had done. Take that sombitch off and throw it in the scrap steel pile.
