I picked up my body lift on Thursday from 4wheelparts. I took the seats and carpet out friday. It was supposed to rain all weekend here but with this being my only free weekend in a while I borrowed an ez-up from a friend. I went out in the rain Saturday morning and got started. I got really lucky as the rain let up after 30 minutes and held off all weekend. The install went very smooth and I only encountered one problem. The very front left stock body bushing bolt stripped and locked up tight. With no other option and seeing how I had to drill out the threads anyways I cut the head of the bold to allow me to jack the body off the frame. With a pipe wrench, a vice and some wd-40 I was able to get the bolt free. Other than that everything went smooth. Ill take some more pictures this week but here are a few from the install and a couple from after.

Nope, it was the last bolt! I thought i was in the clear and then it locked up:/

Looks great. That's what you get for thinking you were in the clear. Now for bigger tires
