All finsihed...I'll get the pics up in a little while. U cant use a regular floor jack on the factory locations....you'll bend the pinch seam, you have to go staight up and down (American quality!). So its either a lift or the hard way...and I'm retardedly impatient, so I did it the hard way. AND... I have a cold, but I toughed through it!

Nicky, there should be some mounting points further in on the body that will allow you to use a floor jack.

There is, my floor jack couldn't get there, I'd have to drive on to an incled just to get the friggin' jack under the K-memeber (front) and there is a bar on the IRS you can use for the rear.
....It sucked with the factory jack, but I'm all done!
When I go home I'll post the pics...It need to be lowered about an inch, then it will look perfect!

on to the next one...
I like the look, subtle, but different.
May I suggest some eyecatchers for your calipers?

Doesnt' look bad, but I personally wouldn't spend money on rims that looked so much like stock.... but if you like it... that's all that matters
