Time to get some paint on those bumpers! I love you XK by the way and not just because it is khaki like mine :D
Some great rigs... keep this trend going. :)
Dig the bumper man. That's pretty awesome
Picked up my SL yesterday! Installing it this weekend!!! Who's coming over to help? :D
oooooooooooooh man :cool:
I know, it is on! I have been hitting everything up with PBB that pat couple days to make removal of some of the bolts easier. I have everything unpacked and prepped. I am so excited and yet nervous!
Omelet - how did the install go? Looking forward to pictures! Has SL modified the rear lower control arm brackets? I know there was some talk on that.
It's been a while since I've checked in, but I still have the XK and the SL continues to work great. It's been installed for four years and about 51,000 miles now. My only modification to the actual kit itself was to remove the rear lower brackets since they hang me up on everything and replace the factory lower control arms with the adjustable BDS arms. Clearance problem solved!

Your XK looks great Kmax! Awesome Bud!
I am almost finished with mine. Up front I chopped one coil off the bottom of my OME HD coils, left the preload plate out, used the SL 4" spacer, kept the OME struts, and am still using the HM Engineering Chromoly UCA.

In the rear I used all of the SL components along with a couple extras I have been using for a while now (Rusty's adjustable track bar, Fox shocks, and 1.5" spacers). As you can see SL did finally replace the LCA drop brackets (anchors) with new LCAs. They are .5" longer than the OEM arms and have a bend to keep the sway links from smacking them.

The end result is a 25" hub to fender measurement sitting over my old 295/70/17 Nittos. I have 35s in the garage that will go on soon. :D

There are still a few more mods to make before it is trail ready, but it is so close! Which is good because it has been too long since I have wheeled!!!
