After a long 3 day weekend of installing, everything is on and tightened. Thank god i'm done. This is probably the first and last time I ever do something so labor intensive with the GS. LOL![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
I'm just going to let anyone know up front that it would be wise to take out 2-3 days to do a similar install and it would be good to have 1 or 2 other people with you that are knowledgeable on suspension also.
Anyways.. Onto some more pics as I know that's what everyone loves.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I know it's not the same pic, but that was the best I could do to get all of the arms and whatnot in the photo.![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
A pic of the retro for those who would like to see:

Lastly how the car now sits.. It actually was A LOT lower in the rear than expected. I drove around the neighborhood and no scraping, but I think I may end up raising it about a half an inch. Should be about a month or two before I throw on the wheels, so yeah.

Appreciate it bro, always staying focused. It's going down hard by the end of the year b.
It honestly wasn't 'difficult' it was just tedious. Like if I would have had an actual lift and shop it would have been really easy. Shoot if I didn't have the RUCA's it would have been STUPID easy. The RUCA's are the only part that's the total b****. Other than that a 5 year old could do this.
Haha as Brian said.. I'm a kid. Freshly turned 21 in January.
