body lift is on. It was a major PITA!!!!!!!!!!! had to cut acess holes due to the top nuts busting loose. Welded them to the body and its all good. I wasnt able to use the bumper brackets included with the kit. THey wont work with the factory hitch. other than that it wasnt to bad to install. Id post up pics but its to dark, so pics tomorrow.

Rear doesn't look too bad. What do you plan to do about it?

how do you like the tail lights? I was looking at swapping the ones on my Zr2 out as well.

Truck looks good. I like to see trucks that are used for what they were made for.
