Looks pretty nice. How much lift you got now?
 












its a 3 inch body lift i have shackels to go on to but i don't realy like the look of shackels with a bl the only problem with the lift is that it feels sluggish when i step off the gas my guess is the parking brake is some what engaged since its pulled tite due to the lift
 






I like the lift, but was wondering why you had to dice up your front bumber/valance? Also, why is your rear bumper sitting lower? I was thinking about doing a body lift on my 95 4 door so thats why I was asking.
 






well in order for my valence to go back on right i would have to remove the metal bumper witchs holds the fogs lights and then i would'nt have the pretection of a front steal bumper and the rear i just never lifted it with the body

basically when you do a body lift your front valence and back bumper don't lift with the rest of your X unless the lift kit comes with brackets to lift them or you make your own custom brackets for them to even up.

Makes sense. I'm new to all of this. I'm pretty happy with my TT and AAL lift with my 32's, so I will probably keep it like that until my X becomes my second driver, rather than my daily.
