Good news :)
If it makes you feel better, when I received my kit just about everything was falling out of the box. You must admit though, those control arms are heavy duty, and they weigh allot compared to the stock ones, but all the parts were there. Well good luck Saturday, and if I may suggest be sure to read the instructions several time, and if you have any questions before starting post them tomorrow night, so that we can help you.

Later.  ;D

mine was only 1 week as well, to Vancouver Island. I agree with agent orange, there is a shop on the mainland that has my friends son convinced to drop a ton of cash to do a SAS with a Samurai housing, and there solution to the width is to run spacers, and he also has to find the sami front end. Complete rip off, and a waste off money IMHO.

Mac


HAHA and you saved me that ton of cash after I got a glimps of your rig Mac!

I've decided to go with the 6" combo and will hopefully get my order in sometime within the next month.

Cheers!

Hey NY,

When you install the lift I definately recommend doing the rear diff over rotation mod! It doesnt take long to do and makes the pinion angle much better. Also raise that gas tank.

Later,
Bill
