Finally got rid of some boxes!!! (lift, wheels, and steps)

First off sorry for the big pic's i don't know how to resize, that being said here's my threat..

So I finally dropped my 2010 sterling gray off!!! It’s got a leveling kit and 35" Toyo's at the moment, and I'm putting a 6" BDS, Amp steps, and 20" XD Monsters. I bought a all the parts a couple weeks ago but couldn’t really find the time, but I had enough of all the complaints of the room my parts were taking up, so I bit the bullet and just dropped off this morning should be done on Thursday because the shop is so busy, then its off to line-x to get the tailgate (I did the midget stripper pole delete), and rear wheel wells coated. It was a pain, to carry everything from the guest house to the truck in the rain this morning but well worth the joy of finally seeing the finish line. So I figured I was going to get some comments about pictures so I’ll post a few quick cell phone shots I took before leaving her at the shop. Also I’ll be updating during the week on the progress of the build.
I have no clue how to upload stuff from photobucket too the albums so if you want to see more pic's my album you can go here.

Ethan21,
Thanks man, that's what I’m hoping.

jake605ktm,
The toyo's ride great! I mean they are 10 ply so they must be a bit harder, but i can't feel any difference. When i bought them i could tell the difference between stock and the toyo's as far as noise goes but after a week or two you adjust and I haven't noticed them since.

The turning radius was cut down quite a bit, it rubbed on the frame when turned. I was surprised, that I didn't need to trim any plastic. I didn't have the opportunity to take her off road, mainly because I was too scared that I had no space between the tire and suspension components(could barely get a finger in between them) and also I don't know of to many places here that I could go(maybe one or two).

**Also just an update**
the steps are on, and suspension is torn apart, cutting and welding happens tomorrow.

Yeah, it was a hard decision and I almost went with the rancho set up so I could keep them. Although I eventually wanted to go to with a coilover for extra height on the 6" so I can get bigger tires.
