Well I'm installed pics to follow.
The Good- easy install and a nice subtle difference.
Everything fit nicely.
Bad-I found my musty smell. The drains on the sunroof appear to be clogged for atleast one rain storm. I was able to dry it out and replace the pad. Washer bottle leaked down my shift causing a small reaction.
My new puppy ran out of the yard witch caused my to yell.

Lookin good!

I just discovered the washer bottle. Had myself and a friend to help, and it was a total PITA. ugh.

Also had to drop my radiator and extend my steering column. Finished in about 6 hours. Lots of work for that 1.25" kit!

Mine did. You have to pull the lines off and I ended up folding them in half, then zip tying them up so they don't leak. Reconnecting the lines was chilly yet refreshing as it was essentially the last step for this install!

No one was kind enough to measure the width of their body bushings...

It'll take 30 seconds to get the numbers to me.

Not counting chasing the dog? About 2 hrs total. I did take my time and used hand tools. I didn't see a reason to use the air tools.

Air tools make life so much better!

Then again, I had new bolts all around, so yay!

Yeah, @momo.75 , it really is a simple install for you guys. The biggest challenge would be removing the windshield washer bottle. Other than that, 2 17mm sockets and go to town. It was tough for me because 1.25" is quite a distance to lift the body one mounting location at a time. It was easy overall though! My hands are useless right now after having to relocate the radiator mounts with my 1.25" kit. So many tight metal pointy places I crammed my hands into for 7 hours

Yeah I found one on t120. It actually came with my kit. Just search for a BL install.

It wasn't super in depth anyway. I'll PM you my number to explain the steps if needed.
