I hope your werent taking pictures in the nude with your parts, that's disturbing.  Looks like you've got most of what you need, all I see missing would be the bolts for the top of the coilovers, but those should be easy/not special, 6 bolts, 12 washers and 6 matching nylock nuts, not sure on size or length.

Ha!  What Jordan said.

So is that black bolt the one for the driver's side rear UCA bolt?

i would say yes to but you might want to confirm the length of it by holding it up to the stock bolt on your truck and make sure it looks about the same length/thread pitch as the stock bolt as you will be reusing the nut.

I think I'll just go to the fastener store and get a new one. Couldn't cost more than $5.

Well guys. I hate to do this AGAIN, but this might be postponed due to a tragic deadly accident that one of my friends was involved in. He was killed in a plane crash last week and I'm just waiting on the call for when the service will be in NorCal. Sounds like it will happen the weekend of the 10th, but won't know until later this evening or so.

I appreciate all the help and advice so far. Please bear with me. If the service is not the weekend of the 10th, I would still like this to happen so I will update you guys ASAP.

Okay guys. The service for my friend is this week but I can't get away from work so it's bittersweet. Bitter cause I wanted to be there, but sweet cause that means we can install my lift! :)

So back to the original question! I think it's supposed to rain this weekend so I think I will definitely need somewhere with a garage. I will bring all tools that I have, which is a decent Husky set, but probably not everything that I need.

Who can host? :)

Well I have a 2 car driveway and a garage that can be pulled into halfway.   I wouldn't  expect it to rain much if at all, but if it does I always have a ezup I use when it does.  I've got all the tools and compressor to make the job easy, I just completed it not too long ago myself.

Im also picking up my lift kit tonight. I have a three car garage and plenty of space, tools and air. I may try to talk to a friend and see if he can loan out his shop in San Marcos for the evening so we can use his lifts all indoors?? Interested?

Depending on the day, I can help.  I love the opportunity to screw-up somebody else' rig.  Between Danny and I, we can really make thing interesting. ;D

Add a few beers and things get even better. I cant stray to far from work this weekend so I won't be able to help. Your always welcome to drive north towards my place if plans change.

You too Justin, if you need any help installing or welding....let me know.

Well I would love to do this install on Saturday since I cancelled all plans already to finally get it done. Help with install, tools, jack, jack stands would be nice. I unfortunately am not equipped to take care of it all myself. My Saturday and Sunday are WIDE open at this point unless I don't get any 100% commitments. Then I'll just have to wait another year to get it all installed as I don't get much free time with work and side businesses.

Let me know guys! Thank you!!
