Got a late start on the lift. PO had 3" spacers on the coils so I had to compress the springs to get them out. The torx bolts for the end links are frozen up so they're soaking in sea foam. Fueling up on manergy right now (taco bell). Then putting the new coils in. Pics and time lapse (hopefully) soon.

here's the time lapse video of the install. First time I've tried it. I only had an 8 gig card so it stopped taking pics half way through and the battery died, but you get the idea.

First coat of rattle can bed liner in the bumper. Why spend upwards of $100 to have a shop do it if I'm just gonna beat it to hell and touch it up?
