It was not easy, dont EVER buy or recommend a full traction lift kit to anyone. The actual components of the lift are very good quality but the hardware was very lacking and one suspension part was a huge PITA to put on. Ive got a bunch of pics of it on my camera that Ill upload at some point in time. Ive still got a few things to put on it. The roof rack is on its way and the light bar that goes on the front bumper was the wrong one so Im waiting for it to get here. Other then that its done. MY dad tried to add on the whole Banks power pack system for it but I told him Ive had enough of working on his jeep.

We had a 76 era Wrangler when I was a kid. I loved that thing. Dad sold it off and the guy he sold it to still has it. It just sits in the dudes yard. Might be talking my dad into buying it back if it doesn't have too much cancer.

These were all taken with my 2MP camera phone and not in the best lighting but you get the point. This weekend some time Ill post the pics off my good camera and in more detail. MOre parts are showing up over the next day or two so there will be more **** to install.

Headed to 4wheelparts to get the 4 wheel alignment

Ratchet strap, come-along, and c-clamp just to get one end of the up rear suspension link into its cup

Not done yet, missing the light bar that goes on the bumper and the two lights that'll be mounted on it.

Rear tire rack with utility rack and jerry cans

Upper differential brace with upper vllink attached

photobucket is doing something stupid with the pictures but Ill upload better ones in a couple days

Got some loose ends tied up today and surprise, surprise, 4wheelparts messed something up. They tore a tie rod boot that I didn't notice till was under there greasing everything up. I tested it out today at the jobsite and it has a lot better articulation and im convinced this thing could climb a damn wall if I wanted to in 4lo and the front and rear locked in. I also don't have to use the ramps to get it up on the trailer, just put it in 4lo and lock em in and gas it
