Default Few pics of the build feom start to finish.

Just wanted to share some pics of the build I took during the install. Kit came out much taller than expected. It's a 6.5 Mcgauhy but think it sits about 7.5" in the front on my 2014.

I didn't expect it to sit this high but the front came out more so I had to do an add a leaf to the rear to help level it out. It's about 1" higher in the rear. Might drop down from a 4.5" block to a 3"

Thanks y'all. I had the alignment done this morning and all is well now. Has anyone that installed this kit before know if this is about the angles the cv shafts should be at with this kit?

Thanks. I always do my own work just because I know it's done right just like my own oil changes. Guess I am old school but I just want to know it's been done correctly. I took my time with it. Took about 18 hours total but it was by myself and floor jacks.

Looks great! Helps me decide on which wheels to go with. How do you like the quality of the Hostile wheels?
