forget about instructions, I tried to find some on the web, but no dice. I sent an email to RE, but since my kit was used, I didn't push too hard. So, instead, I just winged it, and went for it. So far, it turned out ok. However, I did not get the full kit from RE, I bought used stuff, and am piecing it together little by little.

Go to Rockcrawler.com
Under Tech there is a excellent write up on the 5.5" LA kit and plenty of pictures.
It is pretty straight install but gettin the ball park measurments is what you are looking for: The rear arms lower start at 33.25 to 33.5" want axle centered in wheel opening.
Uppers are for setting your Pinion angle 33.75 to 34 inches
Fronts 37 to 38 inches
above are from center to center of hole for bolts.
the short arms adjust so the spirng/shock pad is about 4 to 7 degrees tilting backward. use an angle finder for this.

The measurments above are a start and all depends on the axles you have the measurements are rough from my TJ with Currie HPs front and rear.




Hope his helps a little and good luck

I 'll give you 10 bucks for the coils. I don't see why anyone would want any of the other stock stuff.

10 each? 10 for all seems unreasonable but i will ask him how much he wants out of them

I know your being sarcastic but just an FYI, steel is $25/Ton so from a recycling stand point $10 is a killer offer:rofl:
