I just had a machine shop make them. Took way less time and cost less. Just my 2 cents..

2 inch lift shims work without the need for any other mods. More than that you need to drop the subframe and extend the steering coupler
Thanks for the info Sarek!

edit: upon more thought I am going to stick to the streets. that plus seeing some sweet 20s on sale helps. the x5 still blows the doors off the neighbors 2wd anyway
