Lift Installed!
Well, I got the 2" RE BB yesterday and immediately went to work. Well I started with the back..just because. I had the camera to take pictures as I went..but yet that didn't happen. When you are doing something by yourself like this once you start, you just don't want to take the time to stop and snap a picture. So after working all day yesterday and making about three trips to the auto parts store, I quit with the rear done. I got up this morning and started on the front. WOO those Coil Springs SUCK! The strut spring compressors are a PITA! Well after working on it half of the day today..I am proud to say that I am DONE! I have never really done much as far as working on a vehicle, I have to say it does feel nice doing it myself and not spending that money on someone else. I will say I am in pretty good shape but dang..my butt and back sure hurt like hell! Well here is a picture of the finished project.
Oh yea and my TECH Question: Do I need to get an alignment when just doing a 2" BB and or do I need to make any other steering adjustments? Everything feels the same as before as far as the steering wheel still being straight and what not, but I wasn't sure if this was something recommended.
I will get some more pictures later when I recover.

i would get an alignment. anytime you completely disconnect the front axle or steering components i think you should get one. the axle could have moved a little bit when you were putting it back in. when i installed my lift i thought everything felt the same too, but found out that my tires were so far off that the computer couldn't read the sensor on the rear wheels.
