I finished my installation yesterday. For those who wonder if they can do it, it is not that hard, it just takes time, the proper tools and make sure you torque everything to specs (a second hand would help but I did it by myself). Frankenlift ll, Al's a-arms, AEV wheels and MTR's (I did not take before and after measurements). Waiting for my front and rear bumpers (I will paint to match the wheels). Here is a quick and poor photo (Hope this works, my first photo).

The next issue I have to deal with is my spare wheel. They sent the wrong bolt pattern (did not notice until trying to install on the tailgate). They were ordered from Quadratec in Pennsylvania. Now I get to see how they will handle the shipping charges.

Quadratec is shipping me the correct wheel and paying for the return of the incorrect one. They stand behind their mistake. Good job.
