10 hours huh? Was that pretty much straight through with two guys? I just put the leveling kit on and that was all real straight forward. Was there much involved in the body lift other than just unbolting all the body mounts and putting spacers under them?
If you are talking for the tires, if I have to I will.

Yeah 2 guys a couple break in between. Other than having to cut the front bumper and add stuff to the rear bumper brackets and spare tire winch. We didnt have the best floor jack either we used wood to help raise and it seemed for each section we had to raise we would have to take an inch or two off the wood to make it fit. Getting the body up and putting in the spacers were easy, it was putting everything back together and modding bumpers was the pain.

Other than putting the lift in I can tell just by getting in and the way it looks. Before I could just get in now I have to use the steps or the oh **** handle. I love it.

No not wheel spacers. I thought they sold some type of body kit or spacers to make the front and back ends look more normal, maby I was just imagining it or something.



You say you had to cut the front bumper? What did you have to cut it for, clearance or something? I have sport front bumper I wonder if that will make a diffrence. I know that the front bumper is totaly diffrent its just a bumper cover no real bumper.

As far as the bumper I had to cut the "brackets" on the frame and the bottom crush zone inside the bumper to allow the new brackets to fit on. The bumper had to be cut be cause the body had been lifted. If you dont cut the bumper it will sit 3" below the rest of thebody. It wasnt that bad.
