The arms were put in before the frankenlift. It brought the allignment back to normal with the daystar lift.

still needs an allignment, and the rear end finished, but it rides so much better already. I have a bit of a rattle coming from somewhere, I'm suspecting the uca bolts not torqued to spec. Other than that I'm so freakin excited about the new lift!

Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm really happy with it. Still sitting two inches above the daystar, makes getting in and out of garages a little more difficult. I'm now sitting at 38 1/2" from ground to the fender. The rear is finally going in tomorrow night so I will have some more photos, and hopefully a couple of action shots. Lots of snow piles around here that are begging to be played on. :wink:

Thats the best thing to do, take it out and flex it real good, then recheck all the bolts and get a good alignment after that.

Looks good!

Thanks rev. mudd. That's what i'm planning on. get the rear on and go romp around in all of our snow. It's been really warm the past couple of days (well, above 25) and sunny so the snow should be nice and set up. I'm also hopeing to get my new tires on soon, so I'm going to hold off on the alignment until then.

So here it is, finally, with the rear springs and new tires. enjoy.

the pics are taken on a pretty uneven floor, but the rear end is sitting level with the front now. It drives great, but, man, are the tires loud.
