I'll help you with the BL Brenda. Just let me know when.

ETA: You aren't old. You are only 16 years older than me. And I feel like I'm catching up fast.

I had mine done in about 5-6 hours. On yours it should be a lot easier since the bolts don't have 15 years of rust holding them in place.

I also did poly body mounts with mine since the factory ones were worn out.,

I'm not doubting you Trent, just want to make sure being its an FX4 L2. May be a tad different, ya know. Hate to order something and it not work.


Ok, now any ideas how to fab up the waag bar after the lift? Can we do it at your shop Bill or do I need to ask my guy down here in Harrington?

If you grab pics of how the Wagg bar mounts might be able to help out a little bit easier. I know on brush guards you can just cut 3" out of the middle of the bracket and just reattach it and its perfect.

I don't think the BL will be different. All it includes is 12 lift blocks, a steering extention, and brackets to move things up.

Any 98+ kit will work on anything 98+. Only real difference between them would be the fuel filler neck size and the fuel vent tube size. Marie's was cured via a trip to home depot for hose barbs and rubber hose.
