I have bought the MOOGs on Rockauto.com; the one that ships to Italy. Mounted myself with a mechanic friend; i have an article ready to put online but provider, updating system, reset my login and password and i'm still waiting...

I have 1.5" OME Kit and it's ok. I have read that a 2.5" lift kit is not good for standard lower ball joints. Now i have The MOOG ones but stay with the OME Kit, good on road and offroad.

Have you seen my sub-woofer installation? http://andrea70.jtv.cc section "tecnica" ---> "autoradio"... Without factory sub...for better sound quality!

Thank you for the welcome! Here i don't write so much, but read, read, read... I've made some things with and for my KJ, if you've seen my web pages....also with the help of this site!
