There are a bunch of threads on this, a lot of them here on IFSJA, and can be readily found like the ones above by g@@gling for them

Bolt-on Kit with 2.5" of lift

I'm starting these kits and will be adding upgrades to it. For example: Tow hitch in place of the cross brace and a 3" rear lift. All maintaining OEM springs and ride.

Kit looks good, what are you doing for the rear mounts? It's never a bad idea to get rid of the flimsy stock ones.

I retain the rear shackles/mount to keep the expense down and maintain OEM caster. However, I'm working on a set of mounts to install 57" springs that will include a new rear mount.

Sorry for the threadjack, but its one of the few FSJs I've seen with them.

I won't know until this summer, they're in but it hasn't been driven more than in out of the shop until it's totally finished.
