Yeah no doubt, I'm getting too old to be wallerin' all over the garage floor working on my vehicles. Found a shop that will do an install and alignment for $279, so I might just go that route. But mainly depends on how long out they are on installs. But going to my family cabin in a few weeks and definitely need it on before then.

$279 with alignment, yep, I'd pay it. Given no choice, I'll still get underneath, but these days, I make sure I've got everything I need before I do. Getting a bit difficult to jump up and down.

Well today my tires, 5100 level and lug nuts showed up today! There has also been a change in plans...the springs from Eibach are on backorder until November. So I'm sending the 5100 level back and upgrading to the Halo Boss coilovers. That way I can still get the lift I need to fit these big ol 285 75 17s! Hoping to have everything delivered by Friday!

Not my look, but they look good - and at least you installed reasonably sized tires. Now you need to bronze the running boards and door handles to match!

Thanks! Yeah I didn't want to go crazy on tire size, I think the 285 75 17s fill it out really well. Lol idk if I will make them bronze, definitely would like some black sliders for the steps and maybe color match on the handles.

Thanks! I'm definitely a fan of everything. I have noticed a noise coming from the drivers side when going over bumps, not sure what it is yet. Maybe UCA hitting the coilover already? IDK but it is concerning, may need to pull the tire off and have a look around.
