    Update:

    I took @Texoma up on his offer to go to his place to install the lift. I sat around and drank his beer and watched him slave over my rusted-ass truck for half the day. Dude's a machine. It's criminal how little I paid him.

    And here's the fruit of his labor:

    I'm super pleased w/ how it all turned out. :)

    Thanks a million, Chris, I owe you like 50lbs of tannerite and two broken fridges.
