    Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new lift and tires. What a difference it makes! Leveling spacer to come soon? How about the alignment? Did you get one done?

    I just took my lower strut bolts off recently while putting on the leveling spacer. The driver's side was cake but the passenger side offered resistance. I had to jack up, and down on the jeep to change the resistance it was giving me (from how much stress was still on the strut). Eventually though it was able to be knocked out.

    Looking at the last pic I was thinking I just want to reach up and pull off that black trim piece below your front bumper or just cut the bumper. That'll make it look awesome.

    I just picked it up from getting an alignment. At first I thought it was OK, but the alignment made a big difference.
    The strut was hanging loose when I was trying to get the bolt out. The one i got out was just really rusty. On the second one, I cut off the tab on the head so I could get an impact socket on all the way and used a breaker bar to get the bolt to spin. once it spun, I used the impact to spin it while spraying it with PB Blaster. Then beat on it with a hammer and repeated for an hour or so. Near the end I switched to WD-40 once I realized the heat from spinning the bolt was evaporating the PB blaster. Might have been easier if I had used WD from the start. I think I could get the other side out with this method and might give it a try when I have some time or if I end up adding leveling spacers. I haven't decided yet.

    Looking at the last pic, I realized I really need to stick some fog lights in the empty holes. Maybe I'll remove the air dam when I do that.

    Had another idea.
    My Surco roof rack looks pretty rough. the paint is flaking off really bad and I wasn't sure if I was going to strip the rest off and leave it bare, or repaint. I think I'm going to try some bedliner instead. should hold up better. I'll make sure I take some pics when I do it.
