    Yup have the 488s sitting in my living room right now, either tonight or tomorrow morning ill install them depending on how tubbing goes today.

    At first I was skeptical of the kit but when its all in place I haven't seen anything to worry about

    Whatever it took plus some. I pulled the suspension and we just kept checking full bump/lock and adjusted for where my new wheels should sit. I'm 90% sure I'll be good to go lol

    Hahah well that was fucking terrible, add that to the list of "shit I never want to do again"

    Getting that front diff in solo without a lift was not cool, maybe if I had taller jack stands it would have been better

    But the initial run seemed pretty good, I was easy on it but I could tell a difference

    Wow! Props to you man!! I just did it on two trucks today with a couple other sets of hands helping and it was still a pain in the ass. Can't imagine doing it solo. Glad you got it done. Nice work :cheers:

    The rear was a breeze and a second person would probably just be in the way but getting that front diff up and in was difficult by myself. I nearly called it until I could find someone to give me a hand and it finally just went in but I hit every spot that wouldn't work that's for sure haha

    Yup. Agreed. The rear is cake. The front almost make me wish i had a prerunner......lol. Nah!

    What was the issue with the cv being so difficult to remove? Did it finally just pop out eventually?
