Here is the rusty's lift I am installing, note...I got the aal and put it in a new leaf pack http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/7bfd52db/bc/Lift/rusty%27s+parts.jpg?bfFf7WCBwDLc530X
Here is a pick of my access to the bolts of the shocks. I had drilled out the bolts here. I know the opening isn't pretty but I lacked the right tools to make it pretty. I will just patch it

NOw , has anyone had this happen when they were installing there lift???http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/7bfd52db/bc/Lift/go+figure.jpg?bf1x7WCBMT5yfLwv Here is the story, I was drilling out the upper shock mount bolts and the drill bit snapped and I geuss a piece flew and hit the window.....all I could think was "Only me!" THe reason was I was being lazy. I only had cheap bits and didn't want to stop working and wait to get better bits.
So this is how I looked shortly after the window incident. Luckily my wife was happy to catch the funny moment on camera http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/7bfd52db/bc/Lift/Happy.jpg?bf1x7WCBowT8RDzS
Here is the new shock in place http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/7bfd52db/bc/Lift/new+shock.jpg?bf1x7WCBwX32wMHp
here is the drivers side nearly done http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/7bfd52db/bc/Lift/new+leaf+and+shock.jpg?bf1x7WCBlrMvBj1H
here is the problem with having a reciever hitch. After the old bolt was cut out, the new bolt is too long. I need to cut this one down. http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/7bfd52db/bc/Lift/oops+too+long.jpg?bf1x7WCBL48XeAJG
Luckily so far I have had plenty of nice weather and plenty of PB Blaster!!http://us.f1f.yahoofs.com/bc/7bfd52db/bc/Lift/me+workin.jpg?bf1x7WCBJkmGwxZE
I will update as things prgress...
