You are correct Jay. It's a procomp kit however which I haven't read great things about...I mean, magazines say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread but user aren't as enthusiastic.
My greatest fear is that when I die, my wife sell all my stuff for what I said I paid for it.

I'll tell you one thing tho,.. it's better than a leaf spring lift!

So, as suggested, I brought the jeep today to Jay and Chanda. Great guy to deal with btw. There is definitely a laundry list relatively small of things he found. The price he gave me for fixing it all was so great it's all getting done right...right down to new wiper blades  :o

Some U-Joints needed replacing and persuant to this thread: http://forum.calgaryjeep.com/index.php?topic=11262.0 I'm getting them replaced with more heavy buty, greasable replacements. The most perhaps disturbing issues were two missing body bolts (http://forum.calgaryjeep.com/index.php?topic=11296.0) and some water/contanimants in the rear diff. Given the great price for service, I'm still quite happy with the purchase and it should be tip top in a couple days. My current plan is to be out this weekend on the Stocker run.

Thanks,
Ryan
