Put the truck on the lift and got to work on it right away.

It took me 4.5 hours to do all the work with 2 of my buddies.

What do you guys think?

I gotta get it aligned tomorrow morning, but so far I like the way it sits

Hah, at least they didn't ship it out to you 5 days late. Or in pieces on seperate days. Or lose the spindles. Hell, I'm pretty surprised they actually got it right the first time.
