As promised, more photos from the lift. I apologize ahead of time for the less than quality and less than interesting photos. I kept forgetting to take pics so I just snapped some when we took breaks. Over all if you subtract the smoke breaks, lunch break, and the just standing around moments, it only took 3hrs to complete. No broken bolts and the only snags we had was the pass side coil ( we got the compressor stuck on it for a good 45min) and the driver side leaf was a PITA to line up. Other than that smooth has silk. Alignment and new treads tomorrow.

Got the Alignment done today. Still holding off on mounting the tires. They were not able to get the caster in spec ( big surprise...) so instead of buying and mounting wheel spaces, I went ahead and ordered a set of custom LCA's from Rusty's. That solves both the caster issue and the rubbing issue with 31's. They should be here midweek and hopefully I can get them and the tires on but weeks end

New LCA's came today. I know there are some Rusty's haters out there, but I ordered these Monday AM and they came this morning...can't really beat that. And they were cheaper than a good set of new spacers

Installed the new custom LCA's yesterday and got the new treads put on today. After 2.5 years and a trip around the world, she is finally off road ready
