Omega has a 3" body lift, springs seem to be fine... Superdawg has a 2" spring and 2" body lift. I have seen some ML's with lift, they do look nice, especially with brush guards... a Diesel powered ML would be welcome in the snohomish monster carport... yes, shadowfax looks to be sticking around... too reliable to let go... at least for a few months after Omega is pressed into service. Once omega is proven shadowfax may be up for adoption, we'll see. If Omega flops I'll be moving toward a Diesel powered XJ. :) I have a better feeling about Omega after seeing the pictures... it's going to work out very well. :) A lot of engineering has gone into this project. I've been working on this sort of project since 1989... finally... :) john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, 28 Sep 2007, Alec Cordova wrote: # As usual, very nice pics. # The color does seem to have faded a little from those auxiliary light # covers, but I agree about what the brush guard does for the vehicle. # # I think I've seen only one or two WJs that had been upgraded.
