well i just took it for a test drive after i installed some new wheel studs and it does great. the front drive shaft still binds a little while spinning so it makes a little but noticable vibration in 4wd. it'll be fine for now but i'll order some shims eventually to point it up a hair. that should solve the problem like it did in the rear.

while trying to come to a stop on the road at about 55mph though it did the same horrible shudder/tire squeeling thing that almost made me lose control again. i passed my uncle in my driveway and he said that was probably caused by air in the brakes causing them to lock up and unlock. which i can understand because i did a horrible job bleeding them when i installed the lift. i'll bleed them good and see.

heres a small update, the wheel adapters came today but i could only put on the rear ones because the front adapters would not fit over the hub. so i gave them to a friend to machine the centers out a little bigger. i should have them back tomorrow to finish and take it on a test drive.

heres a picture of the rear though, i love the way it looks.
