I dont have to much experience lifting a vehicle, but i have experience with lifted vehicles coming in and finding lift bolts lose. Please torque all fasteners to spec and if needed some loctite. These vehicles are heavy and that suspension will work hard for a living.

here's mine with 8" lift and 38" tires


and to continue with what 'cougar68' is saying...always retorque all bolts at 500 miles after the lift is installed.
