Last weekend I installed the lift on my '98 D1 LE.
2" RTE HD springs
OME HD shocks
SS extended brake lines front and rear
New OME steering damper and home made relocation kit
Differential guards front and rear
2 New Tie Rod Ends on Drag link
2 New Tie Rod Ends on Track rod
New front and rear spring isolators
Removed factory side steps
New front passenger side hard brake pipe('cause I broked the old one)
New 265/75/16 GoodYear DuraTrac tires
The whole process went fairly smoothly. I stretched everything out over the course of three days. I worked slowly , not moving on to something else before one thing was done. The hardest part was installing the rear SS extended lines. A real pain to get to and to get loose.
I am VERY happy with how it turned out. I still need to adjust my steering stops and trim a little fender. I also have new power steering hoses to go on and need to replace the bearing in my belt tensioner.
Sorry for the driveway shots, hope to have some real ones soon.

Here's the difference between the two front stock springs and the new front RTE one. WTF?
