You don't really need an expert to install this kit - just watch Tim's video and follow the instructions, you'll have it in place in 30 minutes!

Kit arrived Monday, installed Monday night! Love it.
Top 5 reasons to install the "Leon Lift"
1. It's super cool!
2. It's easy, 45 mins or less to install (add another 30 mins to admire the resulting awesomeness)
3. It'll make other 3rd gen owners jealous
4. You're to lazy to use the hood prop
5. You love your 3rd gen and think it will love you back if you buy it nice things...
Thanks Leon! http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0065.gif

Do you think it would clear an MJT accessory fuse block plate on the left side of the engine bay?

I suspect it will not clear it easily, as that area needs to be clear for the struts. You can probably relocate the fuse block plate a bit, if you are willing to invest the time. Or ask
@ Mtns_Yo
how he did his, I think he had a lot of similar add-on components.

I still haven't had the chance to install mine, work and this rain hasn't allowed me. But I will most likely need to redo my fuse block plate and move it down an inch or so the strut clears it. I'll post pics when I get around to it.

@ Mtns_Yo
and
@ November Sun
, can you guys post or PM me a picture of the fuse block, looking from the side, like the photo below? I may have some solutions, but wanted to first see how much of an interference there is.

Sure can. I did manage to work around my fuse block plate and get them mounted today. I do need to move one bus bar .5” or so I can put the cover back on. I am curious to see what your solution might be.
Other then that busbar being in the way it seems like it’s going to work. It’s a bit tight but functional right now. Here’s a few pictures.

Very helpful, thank you! I think I have a good solution for this. I'll PM you and we'll see how it works out.

on the RH side, would a 1-1/2" clearance between the inner fender and an air filter box be enough to allow installation of the strut?
the air filter box on mine is located opposite the trapezoidal rubber support for the hood.
