Sweet! Glad to hear that. Ya, that's always the way sales go, ain't
it? hehehehe
I'm with ya on the lift thing... still thinking about maybe going to
3" with 33's though, since a lot of the guys I *used* to wheel with
have done the same (or even more), and it's hard to tag along with
them these days. Still happy with the coil spacer lift though... some
people say 'What's the point in lifting *only* ~2 inches'? I'm always
saying 'Simple... the point is that the rock that was going to attempt
to put a one and a half inch dent in my oil pan now doesn't even make
a scrape' hehehe.

Ruby, as I remember it was an over kill at least a hundred pounds.
