Still much work to do though, as I still need to install my Kryptonite tie rods, Moog idler and pitman arms, Fabtech stabilizer and the Cognito support kit. I am nearly finished though.

I am hoping my pitman arm remover gets here this week. I ordered one with a live center. Hopefully it will fit up in there.
Looks good, you have any side pics? I am about to tackle the rear of truck also with those blocks. Was it hard and is it the same as installing the shocks. I raised the whole rear up off the gruond then placed floor jacks on the frame near the rear door then lowered the pumpkin down witthe floor jack after I removed the bolts off of the shock will that allow me to remove the spings?
