i like the lift but u get what u pay for! its not the greatest but id still recommend it i think its a good lift for the price. im going to get rid of the huge 6" spacer on the top of the strut, i hate the look of the spacer, o and i got an annoying creak in the rear still trying to figure out wat it is or if its lift related, ive had it on for 20,000 miles now still holding up well...

heres a front side shot of the windshield tint!

What do you mean huge 6 inch spacer? Like the giant strut extension that bolts where the strut used to mount?

How do you get rid of it? Coil overs?

Ya in mass they don't like front window tint I guess well windshield that is. I have all black interior so it's a plus and SUVs and truck don't get pulled over as much as the ricers around here. Just can't wait till I get it done. I was thinking of getting a strip across the top so the full tint is not as noticable lol. Just a thought haha. 6 if there's anyway you can get an interior shot out tomorrow I'd love to see!! Thanks bro and kodos once again

Couldn't agree more... I did a lot of research before and everyone who got 50% said they wished they had 35%. Plus my brother had 35% on his Jeep SRT8 so I had already seen what it looked like..

But I love the way my 5% around and 35% on front looks.. I still wear my sunglasses during the day!




Your's looks good tho.. But later down the road you may want to change yours!

Did you guys with the front tints notice a diffence in interior temp or a/c performance?

Living in FL i'm really thinking I need to go ahead and do this so my screw will cool down faster and stay cooler.
