... that pictar makes me look fat ... 
FAKK i'm sore today! left work early yesterday, rolled him in and got to work about 2:45pm ... he rolled out and left at about 1:45am. there was dinner breaks and a run to PepBoys in there too. and the last 1-2 hours was SLOW progress as we kept lyin on the floor wanting to sleep
great lift, great parts ... but the C2 gussets i welded in were ALL in the way of the AEV axle brackets. those brackets were chopped up to fit (should have seen nick cringe
) and then welded in place. they fit tight and are now bolted to the old brackets and then welded to the axle, vs. some alignment tabs and a u-bolt. that chit aint going NOWHERE, but this took up a LOT of time. and after welding the C2's in very slowly with lots fo brakes to keep the balljoints i didn't remove cool ... was time i'd have rather spent re-installing the axle.
the run to pepboys was for nuts ... one of the bolt kits had 1/2-20 bolts and 1/2-13 nuts
Nick, you should also get a pic of how we re-located your e-brake cables. after what the dirrections said to do, a lot of ppl might like this better.
now if you'll excuse me ... i'm going to fall asleep on my desk ...
