Lookin' Good!
If you think the 2007 rotors are heavy, the '14's are heavier still.
My guess is you need Radius Arm to Frame Bracket bolts and nuts.
If your "Crappy Impact Wrench" got the lug nuts loose, really not too shabby. Looks like a Harbor Fright. I have HF's 120VAC version and it does well. The Radius Arm-to-Axle Bolts call for more torque than wheels, though. I don't think I used any power tools on the project.
I was taught to not tighten bushing bolts till the vehicle's on the ground and the suspension is at ride height. On yours, that'd be the Axle-to-Crossmember and Radius Arm-to-Frame Bracket Bolts.
I think you'll re-use your original ABS Sensors. On ours, the 2002 and 2012 sensors had different connections at the frame end. Remember, don't turn the Key ON before you re-connect those Sensors. Might be good to have the Rotors in place (with their sensor wheels) in place too.
