Didn't do much to my rig tonight. My girl did get me some goodies for my bday a few days ago. I asked her if it was gonna be a lift kit but she said she had no idea even how to go about trying to get one. Oh well I do like these anyways

You'll have to buy the lift yourself! That's how it usually works! Nice gear!

If you pull the headliner, then it will be real easy to install. In the rear on the last cross member
in the center there will be two holes inline front to back. If you find those your gold! Pm me in a few days to let me know what you find out!

Attempted at the stripped bolt to get my bumper off... failed. Also started sanding some paint and removed the side moldings on the doors. makes a big difference... basically prepping for the paint job that will eventually happen,

I think you need to fire your machine shop! My friend when to a shop like that. Went like this, " that rebuilt eng may have a bit of a knock when it's cold". Maybe it's time to recalibrate the old micrometer buddy! Good luck

Found a new parking spot at my house, but now I don't want to take the concrete the rest of the way out.
From this angle it looks lower but the curb is about 18" off the ground. Front sway connected and all 4 wheels on the ground (barely, the rear right is almost off)
