I put my Tuff Country lift on this weekend too. The wheels and tires are coming next week.

Cutting those sway bar brakets off wasn't a lot of fun.

Jb903, Why the sad face if you're happy with the kit?

And gatorac, why did you have to cut swaybar brackets off?

You don't have to cut those off. Just install the spacers between the frame and the old mount!!! Mine work fine like that!!!!

You cut the brackets off of the spring perch to install the supplied brackets. The new brackets are used to attach the supplied end links.

The sway bar mounts on the frame just get a new drop bracket bolted to them.

Didn't do the swaybar stuff on mine either... That's just excess work. The drop brackets are all you need.

No, they usually think it's sweet. All the salesmen come out and gawk at mine when I stop by...

Any issues with the death wobble with the lift - or does this lift fix the problem?

I've never had death wobble on my 3g. Not before or after the lift. My 2g was different
