8" skyjacker installed

ordered the lift 4 1/2 months ago and got everything except the front brackets, well i finally got them on friday and here it is. completed with a 3" body, 8"s suspension, and 38.5 x 15 on 15 x 12 rims. couple things i didn't like about the lift was the extreme drop pitman arm was only 5", a few holes for the brackets didn't line up "had to drill new ones" and the radius arm brackets were only 5". Also I need to take it back to the alignment shop because all they did was adjust the toe in, I noticed the caster/camber bushings were still the same rusted original factory ones and i know for sure the caster is way off since the radius arms were only droped 5".

Somehow, I bet that thing would be a pretty good time. Looks good, sorry to hear about all the delays. Was it worth the wait?

You might keep a step ladder handy!! She's a bruiser. She should move through the swamps real well. Show us some pix of how she flexes

By the way what in the world is that bungee cord holding onto??? I hope that's not a permanent addition! Looks as if its holding onto the wheel well housing. I'd rig up something with either all thread or just drop a piece of metal off somewhere to hold onto it.
