Here is the post-lift, pre-tires pic. It seems to sit lowest on the front passenger side (almost a full inch)...but I have yet to take it anywhere level to confirm what it does when level.

Headliner is not too much of a bear EXCEPT MAKE SURE YOUR REALLY CAREFUL! Make sure you have all the screws out, door seals off, and the back paneling has little retaining bolts in it on the backside that just need a screw driver behind them to pry up on them. I have mine out right now if you want pictures.... PM me.

Tires are on the truck for delivery. I am excited. Truck isn't my daily driver so I will drop it off tonight to have the tires mounted, balanced and an alignment done while I am at work tomorrow...and by the time I get off work I will have real tires on my Disco.

Those 235/85's look huge next to the stock tires. Didn't think to get any pics pre-install...but I am excited to get the truck back tomorrow.
