    You're right the second photo screams "bro-lean"! Glad it's not as bad as it looks. ;)

    Looking good! Maybe some Depo Black Tail Lights now? Since your front are black?

    Not sure why you would need to lift any higher. If anything I'd lower the front to get rid of the bro lean. Is the lift for looks or will you be off-roading or rock crawling? A 4" lift is pretty high as it is I think.

    I put Depo Black tails on mine. :) I like them.

    It already rides like a dream! I just upgraded the spindles, so it rides just like stock and keeps the stock geometry.

    Your ride looks sweet! I bet it does ride smooth! I thought about getting some 3" coilovers and UCA's and lift the back up but i feel like I might be going to high by then!

    Thanks. Yeah getting the rear to sit where you like it is the only battle when using the maxtracs.

    Btw. You don't have to use coilovers for just lift. They work better when you set them with little or no lift. Mine are set at 0.
