4WD.com offers a military discount! 10%! But you have to call and order your stuff by phone because there is not an option for that discount on the internet.

And judging by my research, your lift would be this one right here:

http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=14227 (http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?partID=14227) Now I'm noticing that the newest catalog shows this lift for $572.99 but the weblink I attached shows it for $599.99. I would call and reference catalog source code:2802008. Then ask for the military discount which will save you about $60 bucks. Your TJ will be the same height as JD's. She has the 3.5" Super Flex... Great lift and we have had zero problems with it.

Title: Re: Unlimited is going higher
Post by: Mr. Potter on March 07, 2008, 05:05:12 PM: My lift is scheduled to arrive on the 12th. I am going out of town for the following weekend.
So if I can't do it Thurs night I will wait until the next week. My lift should go in reletively easy. Everything is new and should come right out. But ya never know. More to follow.

Post by: Doball on March 09, 2008, 03:34:08 AM: I'm on travel the last week of the month, but I'd be glad to help when I get back.
Title: Re: Unlimited is going higher
Post by: Mr. Potter on March 12, 2008, 08:40:52 PM: Got the kit today. I think I will order an adjustible Trac bar for the front vice drilling the new hole. Scott did you drill the hole or get a new trac bar?
Title: Re: Unlimited is going higher
Post by: One-Eye on March 12, 2008, 08:47:28 PM: If you get a new track bar there is a good possibility that you are going to be drilling as well, I did. Now the question is do you have to drill for the stock track bar or did you get an after market track bar that you have to drill for?
Title: Re: Unlimited is going higher
Post by: Mr. Potter on March 12, 2008, 09:05:19 PM: The instructions say to drill hole 3/4" to the drivers side to mount the stock TB. I figured instead of drilling for the stock get a adjustible tb.
Title: Re: Unlimited is going higher
Post by: rocket on March 12, 2008, 09:11:19 PM: Congrats on getting the kit!
Title: Re: Unlimited is going higher
Post by: Seabee_BUC on March 13, 2008, 12:42:45 AM: The stock track bar is still on the Jeep. I never looked (because we didn't install the lift) to see but I'm going to assume he drilled the hole. Because we had so much stuff going to get installed all at once, we just had the dude install all of it for one price.
Title: Re: Unlimited is going higher
Post by: One-Eye on March 13, 2008, 12:57:49 AM: Yeah, I got an adjustable Track Bar also and it was the same thing. You still have to drill. Just make sure that you have the drill bit. Dremel takes about an hour and a half.
