Just out of curiosity roughly what does a paint job like that cost you? He looks like he has done an outstanding job.

Looks great, what did you paint underneath with, is it all the same or are the wheel arches done with something else as it looks a lot more course.

Make sure the mounts and bump stops for your springs are on the diff - don't look to be in your photo  

 

EDIT: Bump stop rubbers sit on the spring mounts. Clip into the hole you can see in my photo.
