Did really well, I thought with how high it sat it was gonna feel horrible and unstable but it atually felt extremely comfortable.

Mashed the Right Fender, and need to resecure the Left lower coil bucket (kept popping the spring out) and the starter is having issues. Also it is running hot so a new thermostat is in the works.

All i have left to do with the truck itself is put a t-stat in and double check the running temp.

Spent most the afternoon orgainzing and inventoring my spare parts.

1 rear drive shaft
2 LF shafts
1 RF shaft
2 rear shafts
1 clutch disc, 1 starter, 1 altenator
CKPS, IAC, TPS, MAF

Alot of other small misc crap. And enough tools to repair about anything.
