To everyone that helped me through the lift, thank you. I did it with one arm pretty much, I tor my rotor cuff and a labrum in my shoulder. It took 3 days but it feels damn good to know it was done by me instead of paying 450 to get it done. Lift is done, it was aligned on Monday, and tires went on it today. 285/70/17's. Yokohamas Geolander MT G003 for 821.00 installed out the door.
Here is how she sits now.

And here is what's next, hopefully this weekend I can get it on and do the diff drop kit. I have a bumper but the stock one needs to be cut and I have no clue how to do it and I am scared I will mess it up.

I guess I will have to update the build thread this weekend with the updates.

You physically tore up your rotator cuff and labrum for a lift? To save $450?

I did the damage a while ago, I got a lidocaine shot on friday morning so I could move it, and I enjoy working on my vehicle's so why pay if I can do it, I don't mind how long it takes.
 
Definitely looks good.

I’m going through rotator cuff injury currently!
PT to try and get it back without surgery.

Be careful!

I do not want the surgery I like to sleep on my sides. Friday is MRI day to see how bad everything is. Since it does nothing but pop all the time I think the labrum is gone but maybe the cuff is okay.

Best of luck with that and well done on the lift especially given this challenge!

It feels good to know it is done right, not in a hurry.

Good luck with your rehab. My wife had a torn rotator cuff and had arthroscopic surgery to repair it. She was very motivated and did all the rehab. Successful and 100% recovery. Get a good doctor and follow the advice. Good luck.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Looks great, and hats off to you for doing it under those circumstances!

I had labrum surgery and I am glad I did it. I am a side sleeper too, and that part was hard to handle (the drugs helped).

I am back to sleeping on my side that I had surgery on and its about 95% compared to 40%!

Good luck with your healing!

Well, I have never had mud tires before the beefyest I have ever had were General Grabber AT2's. There were slick when I drove off from Discount tire, but the balance is perfect up to 70. They aren't loud to me I will let you know when we get back from Gatlinburg in April. unless I can find some sand. the Mud down here on the Gulf is horrible. came with a tire warranty also and those are rare for a MT.
