Here's the update with a new set of 35x12.50r15 Wrangler MT/R Kevlars on 15x8 wheels. Looks pretty good now but I did have to order a larger set of blocks for the rear because my leafs were wore out. Another $65 and I am done. Now I can start a few other things such as a saginaw ps pump, 200 amp 3G Alt, body work, etc. More to come!

How long did the lift take to install? How were the RC directions? It seems like they left things out. I have the same one in the box. I also have to do shock buckets. Got those in the box too. Here in IL it's getting cold and without a heated garage it's going to suck to do. Plus I would like to find someone wiling to help who has done this before I case I run into any problems.

It was a pain in some parts but nothing too bad, I did it in Novemeber when it was cold but inside a heated garage.

I WOULD NOT recommend doing it in the cold though...That just sounds brutal if you slipped off a bolt and hit your hand or something.

Thats what I was thinking too. Anything advice you could give? Maybe any problems you had? Things you would do different? I just want to be as prepared as I can!!!
