2" body lift installed!

First of all thanks to neli for coming down for the day to assist, it was definitely necessary. Install took about 4 hours taking our time, plus 3 trips to the store. Everything is great but the steering is a little tight at times, i'll look into it on monday. Anyways, this town offers nothing in terms off trails but we hit a local pit to test it out. I'll update more tomorrow not in any state of mind to elaborate, here are some pictures

What brand of BL did you use? What type of steering spacer? You probably just need to loosen the clamp, pull the steering shaft out just a hair, and reconnect. Or maybe you got the wrong size steering spacer.

Either way, your rig looks good!

Looks good..

if you have a stock bumper does the kit come with the stuff to raise the front bumper?

Did you have to extend any wires?

never mind I found the website..

Yep, just loosen the clamp and crank the wheels back and forth a few times to let the tension in the rag joint release:

we're talking about the joint to the right? i loosened that and went from left to right lock. it moved but the clamp seems intent on moving from one spot to another, anyways i tightened it down after articulating and it was smooth as anything before i pulled out, but it went right back to stiff when i started driving
