Thanks. It's my daily driver, so I can't treat it too rough until I have something else to drive.
I had the lift installed by Checkered Racing in Bedford back in early February. They quoted me $200 labor, and I figured for that price, they could have all they wanted of it. They had a nice big work area and the right tools for the job. Even after soaking all bolts with PB Blaster for a week ahead of time, they still broke the majority of them off. I'd say that they had at least 12 hours in it.
A friend and I installed the slip yoke eliminator, driveshaft, and axle shims ourselves a week later. It rides great, with no vibration or wobble, and tracks perfectly down the highway.
I'd say from looking at the pictures, you are definitely are an XJ fan.
