It was so sloppy. I was in 4low 1st gear not enough speed. Tried 2nd and in that amount of time it sank. I didn't even try after seeing what happened to everyone else.

Ill post some pics,my powercord for my labtop shot sparks out of the little black box like a arc welder!! I need a new powercord,ill prolly just use another computer and download them that way, we still need to weld in the sky shock tube that the shocks mount too.I will say the sky kit is very nice, the back spring mounts are almost flush with the end of the frame, the fronts are moved forward a ways,makes it tricky to weld and cut on the passenger side with the fuel tank in the way but we were short on time and i figured the bolts would break off that support the tank so we didnt try it. Welder worked great and we did the job minus the shocks in about 4hrs. Great upgrade and with a little fab skills you could make the kit yourself with some steel and some bolts and u bolts. So where did you guys eat last night??It had better been good cause we coulda finished the shocks you weiner!

Looks great kelvin.

Were you able to get the pass side welded I between the tank and the frame at all?

Looks pretty straight forward and simple. You made easy work of it.

^^^X2 nice work! I was curious to if you were able to weld up the spring mount between the gas tank and frame. I still haven't done mine, I've had my gas tank out before, so I wasn't to worried about breaking off any bolts, just didn't have the time to drop the tank, plus it was half full of gas, and I didn't trust removing the drain plug! I'll have to get to it eventually!

No we didn't weld it either between the tank and frame on the front hanger because I was afraid the bolts would break off holding the tank.plus he had a date.
