AEV 2" spacer lift installed:



It actually doesn't look bad. The other picture of a 2" lift and 29" tires must have been a spring lift that gave more than 2" of actual lift:




"2-3 hour install", they said. Started around 7:30 pm and finished around 2:00 am, although there was about an hour lost to a phone call interruption and an unexpected downpour of rain.

Then finally got my first proper test drive with the turbo! It was fun. No more stressing about bumps or braking. There's no chance of unwanted contact at foll suspension compression now.

Now I'm tired and sore all over again. Still need to re-center the steering wheel, get coolant and install my water-resistant pre-filter on my air filter, then I'll be ready to go off road this weekend! Life is good. But my priority right now is to stay awake at work.
