Todays update, was planning on getting more done but my wife's car decided to die (likely alternator, hopefully) & after eating pizza for supper, didn't have the energy to keep working.
Got the Lugnut 4x4 kit! Very well packaged, impressed so far!
Some progress pics as of now:
Got new u-bolts and longer shock installed yesterday
Started on brakes today
Studs and hub came apart way easier than I thought
