Default EVO Rock Star Skids installed [PICS]

Ended up doing this in the garage with a basic angle grinder and a dremal for those hard to reach areas. Overall about 2hrs per side, I don't have all those fancy power or air tools, so it takes a little longer for some things. I have the northride4x4 grade 8 bolts, but with this kit, I will need longer control arm bolts now. Overall I'm very happy with how this is, but time will tell. Only thing left to do is cycle the suspension to see if I need longer bumpstops. I doubt I will need very much if any from looking at the shock and seeing some grease left on it from not being compressed further. My lower control arms will no longer just come out. I will now have the grease points turned down and drill a hole through the brackets if I can't get the fitting in there to grease them.

Looks good. Just did mine a few months ago.
Did you have to add stop or change shocks ?

I haven't done a full bump test yet, I will probably do it this weekend to find out for sure. Won't be wheeling for the next week or so anyways
