Cornfed Lift Kit

[AlexJet]

It was a long time from the time I got this kit to the time I finally installed it. Actually the last point after which I told myself - I'm doing it on the next weekend, was my off-road trip when I bend my stock skid plate.
So I've finally installed it. It took me and my friend (some operations too difficult to do by one person) approximately 4 hours.

Cornfed Lift Kit spacers are giving you 3" Front and 2" Rear Lift.

I used "Stone Shield" This is some kind of spray to repair underbody rust-proofing. The only thing I missed is that I didn

Final lift measurements?

Thanks for sharing this with us. I have been contemplating on getting a set of lifts my self.
I could do the math, but I would rather see a picture of the final height just like the one you initially took before the lifts by lacing the measuring tape up to it.

Thanks.

Oops. Sorry, I forgot to place those pictures. I'll look for them at my home computer tonight and will post them. Thanks for reminding. I was so impressed of the look after lifting, that forgot to post some images.

did the ride change at all?

Depend what you are talking about.
Highway - not much, I'd say the same.
City street - a little stiffer ride over speed bumps, mostly rear.
Off-Road - Definitely better, much better. Now I'm not afraid of small rocks on trails. My first run there without kit gave me ~10 dents in my skid plate. With the kit, I can play around without problems. Mudholes are the best thing to see what lift kit is.

did you have to cut anything on your install?

Not at all. This one of the benefits of Cornfed Lift Kit (and most others spacers kit such as Daystar and Revtek). It's bolt-in.

As soon as I can rationalize this MOD to my boss (wife) and I get the go ahead I'll jump on it.
