    With the weather finally starting to warm up a bit and the snows melted away, Cindy and I decided that we needed to do some testing of our new Daystar 1.5" lift and 225/75R16 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro Tires out on the rocks. So, we drove to the end of the street and had some fun. Here are a few shots that we took :)

    I don't know if I'll ever really get used to hanging tires like this - LOL

    Did you have the sway bar disconnected on this run?

    Yes. This was a quick test run we did after disconnecting our sway bar. As you can see, we were still hanging tires but really, we were also pushing the limits of what a Renegade can do :D

    About how many hours does it take to install lift, not counting alignment?

    Well if that's the case, they should easily be able to do it in the time frame I specified or less. Can't wait to see your Renegade once it's lifted :)

    Yeah Thanks, just wanted an idea of what it was going to cost me in labor. I am NOT a mechanic.

    Someone with a shop can probably do it in 6 hours. Without a lift and full shop supplies it took me about 10 hours, of course I took breaks for lunch and water breaks as well.
