Is this kit full bolt on? How long did it take to put it on the rear?
And you must have a very forgiving wife/GF to let you place that all out on what looks like a kitchen table

She was at work, lol I had it all nicely put away before she got home
Yes it is bolt on and although that sounds easier than a weld on kit, drilling all the holes and feeding bolts through holes in the frame and then out the drilled holes is not fun and very time consuming. I am thinking of just locating the front brackets with a couple bolts and welding the brackets on. It would be way easier and alot quicker
In total prob 4-5 hrs to complete the rear

Well looks like I got everything all installed. That was a lot of work to say the least. now I set the upper control arms to what the instructions said and I had to lengthen my front arms. That was all well and good but I have no idea what kinda rear pinion angle I should be looking for.
What should my rear pinion angle be for. 4.5" lif?

Nice
Congratulations on the lift but you sre did not pick a nice time to do it with the weather and all. That concrete floor must be a little cold. Excited to see this in person this summer.
