This is the relay, I wired. The headlights aren't on battery voltage yet. That is what the coil is for above the foglight relay. I ran outta daylight and forgot to pick up a third relay for high beams.
With the lights off
And no install is complete till........STICKERS!

Lift is in!!! Started at 8am, wrapped up at 3:30pm. We did have to punch out the upper bolts for the rear shocks. Knew that was a possibility. No worries. Added bolts through the unibody. But the curveball that I didnt prep for was the front bolt for the leaf spring was seized on the bushing sleeve. Arrrrghhhhhhh, had to cut to get to sleeve and heat it to loosen up.
After affects from lift:
The Bad
Steering wheel is crooked
Driveline vib
The Good
It's freaking awesome
Too come:
Research and fix steering wheel and driveline vibs
Rubicon Rims blacked out
Bushwhacker flares
Headliner
Also new wheel hub/bearing fixed my noise, from my other thread.

the wheels make a nice finishing touch with the chrome lugs
as for your vibes i'd say look into a sye kit
a lil pricy but the hack and tap from iro isn't bed and you can have them send u anothes ds with it
don't waste your money on a t-case drop its only a band-aid
also check out your u-joints in the rear ds the lift will expose all kinds of new problems you coulda missed b4 and accepted as normal
again nice rig hope the wifey likes it

u joints were replace right before the lift. Gonna try 2 degree shims, dukie's suggestion. see if that takes care of it. They are minor vibs between 25-35mph.
rims need touch up and flares are next.
I love the stance it has now. Now all my vehicles have nitto terras.
