More info Jeff?
Stitches are out, but most importantly he got right back to work after getting back from the hospital... why waste a perfectly good Saturday!!???
The driveline bolts were really rusted on. It took several shots of PB blaster. I finally gave up on it one Fri night, then woke up early Sat so I went out and started to work the bolts again after letting the PB soak overnight.
Anyway, long story short...as Robert said, I was double wrenching and all went well with two bolts. They were really tight, but came loose. The third fought back, then started to spin. I had to hold the bolt with one wrench, then double wrenched the nut and the double wrench slipped and nailed me. It took four stitches, but not before trying for a while longer. When I got home, i got the cutoff wheel out and cut the bugger off

Then dropped the diff to the ground. I had the crossmembers and diff in before stopping that day. I finally had to stop because I was missing one bolt.
Miles: The ride quality is really good...stiffer in the rear, but the truck handles well. I have a driveline vibration that I need to get into but haven't had time to do so. My winch is a Warn 9.5ti. I bought my 2005 several months back used and the bumper and winch were part of the deal.
One thing for anyone who has the Shrocks bumper and plan to do the Calmini lift. The front Shrocks skid plate won't bolt back up to the sway bar mounts. I am going to see what I can figure out and will share that when I get through it.
