Thanks for kind words. Your thread and a few others keep me motivated to keep picking away at this project! This forum is the best.

yes, I install as a unit, trans. and t/c. seeing as I have a 4" lift, it rolls under nicely, easier to put on trans jack outside of truck, and roll in place. Diagonal supports can be installed later. As you are, I'm a one man show, so any mechanical advantage I can gain, I use
I agree, great group of guys with tons of knowledge and experience, all willing to share. and yes, I use the builds to keep me motivated
BTW, I use exhaust manifold studs to line up, and install my t/c to trans. you can take them out later or leave them for future installs
