    Lowering the engine cradle eh? I think ill continue focusing on saving for the SL lol.
    SL before January RC trip? I'd be GLAD to come down and give you a hand! thanks for asking

    It's sounds worse then it is. Looks pretty simple. Best thing about it would be lowering the whole drivetrain.

    Yeah I've taken engine cradles down before on other vehicles. Not hard work. But not a method I would like to achieve lift by either. It's basically equivalent to a body lift. ... doesn't help your belly clearance other than slightly larger tires. So although the cost will be lower than the SL, its a lot of work with minimal gains IMO.

    How much does the SL kit drop the lower control arm pivot points?

    4"

    My plan is to run the 4" superlift and add 1-1.5" for a total of ~5.5" lift.

    You're just like Corey... wasn't it like "yesterday" that you said you're "good" with the OME because it "gets you through everything you want to get through"; then today you've got the itch! LOL you's guys!
