Looks great dude! Why did you choose to weld the sliders though? Wouldn't it be better to be able to remove them easily when they get beat all to hell?

Thanks. Right now they are welded so if I want to take them off I can still do it with minimal grinding. They are not fully welded. My plan is to bolt them on with no welding so I can take them when needed I just didn't know exactly how I wanted to bolt them on and to be honest I got in a hurry so I just welded them for now.

How bad was the ball joint change? Half day job or worse?

I'm getting ready to install the 2.5 max travel...how long did it take you?
Love your bumper...very nice. Wish I could weld!!

The ball joint install would have gone better bet I used a HF ball joint press which gave up the ghost pretty quick. Make sure you get the adaptors that are slanted as well. With proper tools you could do both sides in a day easy. Check out a few YouTube videos before hand.

The Max travel lift was pretty easy. No special tools did it in about 6 hours with a buddy. I installed the RK rear track bar as well but if you are running aftermarket diff covers it will make contact with them. RK advises to rotate the track bar so the bend faces out...which makes sense. We'll see if it works.
