Good pics. How did you wire up the lights though? I have no experience in doing anything like that?

Difference between what? Wiring led's or halogen lights?
There is no difference other then the bulb.

Ok, I don't know since I've been told HID's use a ballast and draw higher amperage. But wiring up is the same Pwr , Grnd, and relay to switch. Correct?

JBA makes great stuff but, I saved $100 with Rocky road outfitters upper control arms and yet to have an issue thus far. The only difference is mine are black and JBA is red.

It may not have been intentional, but that right there is funny

Ok have had the tommudd Eco lift on the jeep for a month now and figured I would post my per and post measurements

PRE LIFT
Front left - 18
Front right - 18 1/2

Rear left - 18
Rear right - 18 1/4

POST LIFT
Front left - 21 1/2
Front right - 21 1/2

Rear left - 22 3/4
Rear right - 22 3/4

Now I also have a question. Ever sense I put the lift on whenever I need to do an almost full or full turn I get a weird nose, like a banging or cranking sound. Does this mean I need to replace my cv's? If so do I need to get the cut down ones? Also is this about where I should be with this lift? And will I lose some of that when It settles?

Mine settled very little, rides great doesn't it?! Did you torque your sway bar and everything else when the KJ was back on the ground? You won't need cut down CVs with that lift. Only if you are going 4"+ over stock should you need them.
I am betting on sway bar noises. If you torqued all your bolts/ nuts with the KJ still on jack stands you should loosen them and retorque. Otherwise things are binding.

I never even removed or loosened the sway bar. Wonder if I should break it loose then re-tighten? Mines 2 1/2" higher that it was.

Shouldn't I be sitting higher tho? I thought the lift was suposed to put me 3.5 over stock height, and isn't stock height at like 19.5?

I have the same lift. I'm sitting very close to 23" front (after adding larger clevis spacer) and 23" rear both sides. Factory height is 19"

You should be about 22.25-22.5
which clevis spacer did you get?
Not sure what happened along the line but the first set I got and installed on mine put me at 23 , its on 501s now and still about 22.75.
But using the largest clevis spacer gives you some more lift

Dunno if I've said this b4, but ima say it now. This thread is extremely insightful to those of us that have not lifted our rigs. My self included!!
