Thanks guys. I was thinking bumpstops because of the red pad type things but had never heard of them coming with the kit before so I was unsure. Anyways I'm so ready to finally get this on. I might just pull the trigger and do it friday morning since I don't know if I'll be able to wait until Sunday. haha

he has admitted to it on DR and admits it was stupid. AND I have seen several pictures...the guy also was going to buy my caged donor cab and frame but ended up spending more money to straighten his. I normally dont post something unless I know its true and can back it up...Ill see if I can find the pics, but it was BAD!

You'll be happy to know buxton i changed out my front shocks today, and I'm not sure if you know this or not but with that extra three inches you can change them out without jacking it up, I was so excited haha

Nice. I'm gonna put mine in while it's still all up in the air so once i set it down I can be ready roll. Hopefully my shocks that i bought will last a little while. Didn't have the extra cash for the 5100's so I bought some cheap RCX Nitro shocks for now just so I could get the lift on and be rolling. They have got to be better than the springtech shocks though!
Haha yea anything is better than those. Once I got the old ones out I compressed the to see how bad they were and it took about 8 hours for them to start popping back out to normal length haha

Got it all installed yesterday then went and got my alignment done today after work. Got her all cleaned up and will have some pics tomorrow.
Pizzaman: I was unable to get the daystar spacer in to take a pic for you since I didn't have a spring compressor. Good news though, when I went to my alignment guy today he had to adjust the cam bolts to where they went all the way inward on the camber adjustment. They went in even farther than what the factory setting is. So with that being said you could fit the daystar spacer in there without having any issues with getting it aligned. Now I wish I would of known that before and I would of found a way to put them on there.

Haha sweet good to know. Looks like I'll be ordering one of those soon. Only problem is spring compressors scare the poop outta me. Had one pop off when workin on a civic, coil spring shot out knocked out the jack and the jackstand (there goes my failsafe and dropped the car about a 1/8 of an inch over my ankle before my safety piece of wood caught the frame haha.
