I got a jump start on the rear today. All that's left is to install the new rear control arms. Not bad for 5 hours of work by myself.

Ready to get the front on and all dialed in tomorrow.

I'd love to help but I'm on the wrong coast. I'm tackling this Sunday I hope.

I can't tell you how nice it rides. I also need to flex it up and check for any clearance issues.

I'm starting to like mine but I noticed that if you plan on putting the factory rims amd tires back on the sway bar links in the rear will rub untill you get the right backspace rims or spacers. 3 buddies and I installed it all in just about 5 hrs and havnt had it off road because I almost ripped my fenders off hitting a pothole in my driveway! Also I didn't know it needed a tie rod end at the pitmen arm until the day of install and that sucked! In my area it was very hard to find a 7/8 drill bit also but install on the new draglink was easy. Does anyone else rear springs look very wierd I guess because of the inch movement back?
