It sat like this for a while until today put on my lift. It rides awesome and feels so good. I give the lift 5 stars. Took about 10 hours to put in(only cuz i didnt have right tools until the end).

Here it is all done now, except for shackles. Bolted right up and winch runs great. No major test yet but seems like a very strong and reliable winch.

Sweet winch! I like how you just put it on the stock bumper. Pretty cool. Im also a sucker for the country edition. I had your color scheme in a 2 door with a 3.5 rough country and i miss it.
