    Sliders and bumper:
    RCI bolt on sliders:
    - drilled the extra hole in the frame for added support, rattle can paint job. Redid pay with hvlp and Rust-Oleum satin finish when bumper arrived

    C4 hybrid bumper: took 4 days to prep, paint and dry... About $50 to paint myself
    - bumper mounted slightly uneven, used extra washers on one side to even out
    - prepped with hand electric sander and fine grit papper, wiped down with acetone
    - Rust-Oleum self etching primer 2 coats
    - pneumatic hvlp to apply 3-4 coats of Rust-Oleum satin black

    Eibach & dirt king:

    Lift was simple and straight forward to install but I was having fitment issues with the sway bar with and without relocation kit so I just took it off because I got tired of chasing a clunk

    Uca's are much easier to install with an extra set of hands, rubber mallet is also a huge help.
    -had some issues with a popping sound, then a loud squeaking sound coming from passenger side. Retorqued and regreased ball joint after each noise change. Noise is gone for now but only have 70 miles on uca's so far. Dirt king customer service is awesome and really helpful over the phone.
    - UPDATE on UCA's: so after retorqued and regreasing that sound kept coming back, took my front end apart and one of the Moog joints was completely shot. Dirt king was awesome and sent me out a brand new set of arms right away. I have had 0 issues with the new set and I love them.


    Some doin it for the gram pics:
