Dude I'm jealous. I'm stationed here so I've got no escaping for the next 2 years.

Looks good man! I also just recently installed that same lift on mine. Wish I would have seen this thread sooner I would have given whatever advice I could. Plans for wheels and tires?

Quadratec has a wheel and tire package I have on order. Some black steel wheels with pro comp mt2 tires 31 x 10.50s. That's all I really wanted to do since I'm running the stock axles as of right now. Wheels and tires are on back order so a couple more weeks they say. Do you have any drive line vibration? I may have to do a transfercase drop. Until I can pull the funds together for a sye.

I do notice a real slight vibration up around 75mph. I don't spend a whole lot of time at that speed so I don't worry much. I would check u-joints and tire balance, in my research before buying/installing the lift I found that dropping the tc and/or an sye was not necessary(unless you just want to for whatever reason)

Jrox looks good. Are you running 31s? I was afraid of tire rubbing when I turn.

Yeah 31" ko's. 15x8 3" back spacing. I believe 3 3/4 back spacing is recommended but I didn't want the wheels/tires sticking out that far. It did rub when I would turn to the right, I believe the po may have hit something, the bumper alignment doesn't quite match up from side to side

They rubbed on the front bumper but a quick fix with the angle grinder and no more problems

I called quadratec and they said my tires would be back ordered until June so I cancled. Went to the local kan rock and got these Cooper stt. They are actually a little cheaper and I like them
