Very clear so far.  Great!

I think your average dumby could probably figure it out.

The drawings and pics. are very good and helpful.

Haven't read it completely yet but I think it works on 2 doors as well, did mine about the same way (only without spring spacers, YET). And for the air filter hose being to short thingy, I put on an open air filter..... and soon a snorkel  ;D
BUT I like this page and will send it to everyone who ever has a question about body-lift or spacer lift  ;D THANKS Heather  ;D

oh about the air filter tube, i used one of the tubes off a 5.0 F-150.  you just cut it to lengh and work it over the out and inlets.  i used some oil to help it over.

Because, (if you don't like to wait for shipping...) you can find XJ or TJ coil spring spacers at most ANY 4x4 shop in any town, and they usually carry them in STOCK. And... I find they have been cheaper for me.

Stu here's what I did for the steering linkage and my welding's not bad either looked like a roll of nickles around the shaft, then I grounded the welds down and painted it black. If you have a spare shaft laying around I'd do it again for you. - CZ





Not bad since I haven't done any welding since 1995.  ;D
