BTW, look seriously at the ProRock front and rear axle assembly's when you are ready. With the setup you have, you really want to weigh this choice carefully. Eddie has some comments that are enlightening regarding the choices. If you plan on ever using 40's, as Eddie says, stuff starts to break! Anyway, guys like you are what it's all about!

Yea I'm debating between PR44 with 37s, 1tons with 40s or XD 60s and 40s

Update: I got the rear coilovers installed as well as the EVO Tire Carrier. Let me just say the Tire Carrier install was a pain in the ASS!! I damn near lost my shit on that fucker lol.

This was my ghetto way of getting the body off the frame once I loosened the body bolts. Ghetto but it worked!

Sorry no instillation photos on this one. Like I said it pissed me off to no ends! Lol

Oh I also installed the new reverse lights. Thank you to whoever recommended them!

I am heading to a buddies shop today to make the final adjustments to the coilovers as well as install the front sway bar end links. I wasn't able to get them on because the front end was too low.

Nice thread! Those carriers are a handful to install solo. I invented new cuss words when I did mine. Hope you show picks of the coilover adjustment...

I will once my buddies lift comes available. I have it close just from the pre install adjustments I made. I will try and document just how I adjust them as well as to why I put them there.
