Ok, I just had the Ironman springs and Koni Gas-Adjust shocks installed, absolutly love it so far, but I have questions for others that have a similar lift.

1. Did you notice any difference in the response time of the Stability Control?

2. How much lift did you actually get, compared to the advertised lift?

Thanks, and here is a picture.

Nice. Are those tires the ones you have listed in your signature?

Also, do you have a before pic? And hopefully a smaller one? 640x480 should be fine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Same ones, and I added a pic and changed the size. Sorry about that I have 1920x1280 display and always forget to reduce the size. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

From the pics it looks like you got just a bit over an inch of lift but I could be wrong.

Well, I got just over 2" actually and I wasn't expecting that much.

With my OME lift I got a little over 2 at first and it has settled to right around 2" even now. And I didnt notice the stability control was any different whatsoever......Still seemed the same to me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Also it looks good.....Good to see you took off the running boards.....also another heads up that you might want to do is take off the little plastic bracket/mudflap behind the front wheels....or they will get ripped off as well <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Take it from someone who has ripped one off already and then took the other one off after that happened <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Looks great though...I love seeing Gen 3s getting built up to run the trails <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Well, I just cut off the little ears on the rear of the rockers, but the front onw is on hold for the moment. I am going to be installing "Rally" Style mud flaps soon.

So far I like it a lot.

Ya I cut those off in the rear with the mini saw-zall(dremel) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> and it worked great. The fronts dont have to be cut off by the way...just a few bolts and they are out as well.... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
