Got the D35 out and positioned the 8.8 last night. Going out to make more progress today after PT. Had to swap tires with my buddy so the jack stands would reach

No, I don't lick fish.
His aspiration in life is to work with the RoadKill guys on cars in parking lots. His next project is to swap out a transmission in the parking lot of Napa overnight.

That's without ubolts, at full droop. Probably gonna need shims, but I haven't checked angles yet.
My creeper is a life saver. And I'm actually not allowed to work on vehicles here, so we park close together
I wish! I'm not worthy
----------
Went to the junkyard yesterday and pulled Exploder spring plates for the ubolts. Got those on, torqued everything, bled brakes, installed my Riffstuff diff cover, and swapped the tires back to/from my buddy's YJ with 31s. I need shocks, have to fill the diff, and I have to measure driveshaft angles and length.
I pulled the springs and axle on Wednesday, went to PT Thursday morning, went to the junkyard Thursday afternoon to pull parts, and installed the axle Thursday night. Oh, and I've slept 7 hours in the past two nights with about a dozen wake-ups each night.
I'm exhausted and sore as ****, and I'm currently en route to Jersey with my gf to look at Wrangler Unlimiteds (LJs) to replace her DD

After we installed one rear tire:
Best picture I have of ride height at the moment. Cleaned up at 12:30 this morning
