Lift looks awesome. Did you have any problems with the install? What are your plans for the tires?

It took about a month. haha. Shackle bolts hitting tank and one frame mount bolt didn't move.. cut it. um tires.. sticking with these until maybe march(my 17th bday) maybe some 31s, 32s, or 33s and they will be muds or something.. BFG. Don't know about 33s all too much, since I have 3.07 gears.

wow lol well i have to say i have used zip ties a time or two also lol so i cant dog on ya for that just go to a hardware store and buy some plumbing clamps probably 1.5" or 2" that way you wont have to worry about the zip tie breaking. They should only cost a buck or so for all of them
