Might need a better pic of the back... went down a little more after I literally backed up like 5 feet

It is a pretty simple DIY! And believe me, I am not the most handy guy out there. (Though I've learned a lot jsut from azine and through more automotively inclined friends!)I was able to get away with just removing the back seat. Actually had my install buddy's gf reach in the tiny space for the rears to undo the nuts (You'll see what I mean when you do yours.

The most time consuming part was having to rethread a bolt and finding another jack after mine decided it was done...

Check out the garage sticky in the general 3g forum! Very helpful!

I definitely agree on the back side of things. A big improvement... but just a fraction of an inch more in the rear and it would be perfect.

Overall, very satisfied though! Noticed a vast improvement in cornering "limits"
