So it's that time. I finally upgraded to long arms. Picked up my kit this morning in Hesperia and going home to begin install! Will post picks as I go.

So last night I wasn't able to finish the install. Struggled with installing the cross member.
The cross member was designed to got on the inside of the frame. So I had to cut off part off part of the little flaps on inside of frame, not sure what they are called.
Not the best cut but it worked

Got my lower control arms removed and partially removed the uppers. Began cutting off the stock lower brackets with a grinder, but had to call it quits for the night. I'm going to borrow a torch from work to save some time. Should have everything done tonight
