Thanks Adam. I'm not a big fan of painted diff covers, I'm going to order Mag-Hytech covers for front and rear one day.

Thanks everyone.
But after looking at the pic of the steering stabilizers I posted, I thought...that doesn't look right. So today I looked a little closer and there is an issue...they should not be at the angle they are at. I didn't install these because my tools are still scattered at different relatives' houses since the divorce. So this afternoon I took the truck back to the shop and showed them what was installed incorrectly. They quickly installed them like they are suppose to be and the angles are correct now. However, the left stabilizer/shock is hitting the steering linkage just barely. So tomorrow, I gotta call the shop that made the kit (Top Gun Customz) and discuss a new design idea for the center bracket to stop it from hitting on the tie rod. I have two ideas to fix it and will see which one they think is best. I miss my tools.
I will keep y'all posted.

***UPDATE***
First insert steering linkage rod in place of tie rod above.
Finally received the new, redesigned center bracket and both outer brackets on Friday...can you believe they originally told me 1 to 2 weeks to get them, yeah right, more like 1-1/2 months. Anyway, got them installed yesterday and there are no more rubbing issues and this mod is finally complete!
