    My buddy Cloudy said he'd have my front bumper finished next week! :woot: spend a whole day sanding and grinding it so it'll look classy for some white powder coat... also I may be getting a rear tube bumper ;)

    Check with SDHQ if all you have to do is take it to full droop. Some of the coilovers require you to compress the springs in order to adjust the height.

    Ill snag one today when its not on an incline... I didn't do it just for the height, I had a fat bobs lift, I did it more for the ride qual and the ability to tear up offroad. Im not a crawler fan because of too much breakage risk.. but going 60 miles an hour down a bumpy dirt road... thats fun!

    Um, yeah. Think about that statement for a bit. ;)

    BTW, I have your parking sticker.

    And snap some pictures of it on level ground. Would like to see where it sits now.
