Picked up a pair of PRG 2.0 w/600 lb springs for the front.  Now to get some Total Chaos UCAs.   >:D  No more grading the roads for you guys!

Awesome Tony! You'll be setup nicely for that Spring Mojave Road trip (you are going, right?!?).

That reminds me Randy... how are your new coilovers doing? Did you notice a difference in ride quality, and did you end up having to adjust the height?

Oh yeah, 'night and day' difference.  I had to back the springs down about 1 1/4" cuz my bumper is a bit lighter than yours and that really smoothed out the ride.  My OME springs were the 'light duty' ones which felt great when the shocks were new but now with your springs and less preload I will get more usefull travel  :)

My X is only 2 weeks old (to me), so no crazy mods yet. I did swap out the oem interior dome/2nd row/cargo area lights for LEDs, much nicer!

Installed 1.5 inch wheel spacers on the front axle to match the width of the rear axle.  Looks so much better now that the front and rear tires are the same width and the body roll is noticeably less when cornering.

Awesome, congrats Jay! Installation is super easy - you just need a few strong sets of hands to help lift the bumper in place and hold it there while it's attached. It seems like a lot of work to remove the old bumper and what not, but trust me, it'll be off and out of the way in like 15 or 20 minutes.

Jay, let me know if you want help with the install, my transmission jack was perfect when installing my hefty bumper.  saves you from needing strong people to stand around holding it in place.
