    Will do bud. Should be a pretty easy install I’d think, just shackles and the near new leaves I got from Sean, and the coilovers. I’d think we could do a homemade CMC if needed, my neighbor has the skills and I’m pretty sure he has a welder too.

    Mark you know your welcome anytime to stop by, might need a few minutes to clear the garage, but if I’m home, your welcome.

    Coilovers and shackles are here! I can’t even comprehend how big 3.0 coilovers are, cause these 2.5’s look freaking huge.

    Got the lift done today, the rear was actually a lot easier to get on than the fronts. Measurements on the front end came out to right around 2.93 and 3.06” without any adjustment, will adjust them after the holidays. The new leaves in the rear really helped, and put the shackles on the 1.5” setting. Will have the dealer balance and align it on Tuesday, and put on the meats. Big thanks to @Thegr8punkin for coming down to help!

    Yeah I’m gonna be giddy as a school girl once they’re on!

    I want the whole damn shop! It’s one of the most well stocked and setup ones I’ve ever been in.

    Thanks Matt! And I’m down for that.

    Thanks bud, it was a good experience to do it all ourselves. Having good people like Connor and my neighbor made it so much easier. I think sliders and skids are gonna be next, need to come up and go wheeling with you guys in the spring.
