Thanks everyone for your encouragement! A buddy and I added the lift last weekend. We completed the job in two days. It was about a ~15 hour job....we're no dummies but not having impact drills set us back and there are quite a few "gotchas" where we had to refer to YouTube or think outside of the box to get things together. All in all, knowing what I know now I could definitely put this lift together (with a buddy) in 5-7 hours easy on the next go round.

Anywho, since you all took the time to provide much needed encouragement I thought I should attach the finished product.

Thanks again!

I'm late to this party, but reading through, I'm glad you decided to tackle this yourself. You no doubt learned a lot about your rig, and you can look at it now and say with pride "I did that!". Looking good!

It's amazing how much better the Overland rims look with a decent tire on them.

It actually does. It makes me fall more enamored with my rig. After this build, which I am still adding too, I can't see myself owning any other vehicle besides the Gladiator/Wrangler.

Now....the sad part is....if someone ever rear-ends me, I have so much money (and labor) invested that I will probably become just so enraged, lol

Love your Mojave btw!
