Post My turn for JMR lift

Here is what I received for the rear end... Didn't have any real issue for the back, knocked it out in half a day

Stock rear shock absorber versus new rancho

Don't mind the rust just making room for the lifting blocks

One installed and blocks on, took a bit of work as I assumed to get the lined back up

Both on, last thing todo for the rear was installing the parking brake spacer bracket

I can't thank you enough for a picture thread on the lift kit install. It has seemed like a mythical thing to want, so far...
What size tires are you going with?

This was everything originally came with JMR or I had purchased to put on the front end... Ended up buying new upper control arms, lower control arms, differential mounting, cam bolts, custom brake lines and leaf spring alignment bolts...
