Looks ***** man... Only thing would make it look even Sweeter, would be PTM mirror caps, door handles, and some FX oem hid heads!

Thanks. I really like the black contrasts with those parts. Plus the less paint to get chewed up in the New England winters, the better. Now the headlights, that's a thought.

Nice. I just need something to cut the subframe. I will use the base garage to install it.

Sawzall with a metal cutting blade. Wish I would have had access to a lift, probably would have knocked 2hrs off the install time.

Luckily I know how and had the equipment to align it myself. So that's another savings.

When I get a lift, 4'' is what I want and I think this kit will be first choice.

Seriously. I can't believe how much easier putting the rear fender liners back on was while on the lift with the tires off versus on the ground with the tires on. I can't imagine how much easier putting an entire lift on would be.
