I ordered the tires last night but like a dummy I ordered the spare in 15" like I was supposed to, but the four boggers were 16"! I have to call 4 wheel parts first thing this morning and hopefully get that straightened out
Looks pretty sweet (except for the tires, of course), and that's a great write-up with excellent pictures. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
The only thing I see that's a little odd is that the kit moves the rear axle forward (presumably to keep from having to lengthen the driveshaft). Hopefully, that won't cause your rear tires to hit the front of the wheelwells. I would probably, at some point, weld on new spring perches, install "normal" spring top plates, and lengthen the driveshaft. But I'm weird that way.
Can't wait to see it with the new tires and wheels!

I'm prepared to cut whatever needs to be cut for tire clearance, but you can only go so far on the front of the rear wheel wells before you're getting into the door
Rough country recommends a roughly 31.6" tire, so my 33" will only add 0.7" to the radius. Hopefully it's not enough to get me in trouble!
I like em! Nice and simple, no fancy bling or anything that's just gonna get bashed up on the trail
Also began to mount my off road lights, and removed the stock radio to put in a singe din, with a row of rocker switches below it. That doesn't really pertain to the lift, so I won't put all that in here. Guess I need to start my own build thread.
I finally got confirmation that the tires have shipped, so it'll be next week sometime before they're here.
Not gonna lie, the welds look like crap, but it's nice and quiet again, and it was only $45.
I tried to get an alignment, but the Firestone took one look at it, and noped. Got recommended an independent shop in town, but they aren't open weekends. So I'll have to wait till one day after work, and hope I can make it in time
