After having the lift for about 2 months - I finally got time to install it!

I started at about noon yesterday - and finished up after midnight last night. I didn't run into any huge issues - after drilling out one of the holes - I found that my pad was on average 5-5.5" thick which was one of the reasons I wasn't rushing to install the lift - I had no idea how thick the pad as. The instructions say you need 4" minimum.

After drilling out the holes, I hammered in the Wej-it anchors - they give you a sacrifical bolt - and boy did it get sacrified. After hammering in about half of the anchors - I needed to go to Lowes and buy another threaded bolt to put into the the remaining anchors.

After I got the columns in place - I had to finish setting up the hoses and hydraulic fittings.

After bleeding the hydraulic system once - I tested out the lift a few times - I have yet to lift the Vette yet, I am going to wait till Wednsday - I need to tighten up one of the hoses, as well as find some hockey pucks or cut up some wood to put under the car.

Now for teh pics:
