congrats on doing your lift! glad mine and bulldog's write-ups helped you out!!!
if it makes you feel any better, i put a new lift in this weekend and just try stuffing a 4.5"'s worth of lift spacers in there! took me nine hours yesterday to do one of the fronts because i tried it a new way ... usually i can do the entire lift install in a few hours front and back, but trying it a different way this time ... goodness it was rough! my arms look like i've been abused by a boyfriend!!! but no, just the bruises that come from wrestling with the coil compressors and trying to reattach the upper balljoint while swiveling the spindle around and pulling hard on the upper a-arm till the two meet up again.
anyway, congratulations, i sure hope it made you feel good to complete your lift, because i know that's a rough process without help and without power tools.
great job!! now all you need are bigger tires and some pictures to post.
