I just got the back one, I think they sent me one that was supposed to be packaged with the kit, that is why the stickers and lift instructions came with it.

Got the brake line on today, went for a drive and it's gonna need at least some shims, my pinion angle is way off and I'm getting some nasty vibes. Didn't get my disconnects installed today, just wasn't feelin it but maybe tomorrow.

Added a couple stickers, and tried out that duplicolor bed liner, and it was ****ty, so I used it to paint my inner fenders instead of my wheels.

isn't it sad, that most of us get so excited about the stickers that we almost forget about the actual parts. Parts come in, you rush outside to put the sticker on the truck, place decal, step back, look at the sticker. Then go back inside and grab the parts, walk back into the garage, and let out a loud sigh. Then you begin the new part install. Lol, at least thats how it goes for me. Its all about the stickers. LMAO
