That turned out nice.

Did that take long to install or did you have the same shop do the work ?

Thanks guys, I just got back in the house from getting the rear shocks on...harder than I thought, much harder than my F250 for sure.   Wife had to help me.

I paid a buddy wrench to do it...he had it done in 45 min.   Would have taken me all day.

Overall I am 3" 3/4 over stock now.   I am very happy with the stance and looking forward to the new ride quality of the 5100's.

Looking good!  I knew this would eventually happen.  You originally said the kids would hold back a lift.  I said they will grow.  I think they grow together and the Jeep gets bigger one day as well.

JP,

Man, that thing looks awesome! The KR must be getting jealous.

If I could ask, what did you use on the tires? I like a little shine (unlike some folks) and I've been using Meguire's Hot Shine, but I know you're a fan of Hyper Dressing.

Tom that is HD 4:1  its the lowest level of shine you can get...it does tone down a little more but this was about 3 hours after application.

4:1???  Me thinks someone needs glasses.  Haha.  Kidding aside I've never seen 4:1 look that shiny.

I have to agree. I no longer use HD when I want shine like that. (Besides, it slings like hell that thick.) I think JP may have added a little Bourbon to the mix.

The majority of one whole bottle on one Jeep? Geez, what happens when it rains? Isn't it slippery as hell for 25 feet all around it?  :funny:
