Just got my 2.5" w/ the 2.2 shocks in the mail, my question is the instructions mention nothing about removing the front track bar. If I leave the track bar on as-is am I going to be able to get the springs back in without using a spring compressor? 
Thanks

Thanks
I installed my kit (no shocks) w/o disconnecting the trac bar. If I remember right, my upper front shocks took a different wrench size than the directions. I think it was actually a bigger size and not metric.
The directions were a little unclear for me on the rear upper shock mounts. I thought I needed to turn the upper nuts. Wrong
. The nuts are welded on, just loosen the bolts from underneath.
Anyway, no trac bar disconnect.

Just put a jack stand under the frame on the opposite side you are working on and jack up under the fame on the side you are working one. If you do it this way, you will only have to disconnect the shocks and sway bars.
Dropping one end of the trackbar is no big deal and will make things easier.
It is very easy to re-install the front trackbar with 2 people. One person slowly turns the steering wheel either right or left while the other person gives directions so that the bolt hole and bracket line up for easy bolt installation.

I think the RC kit is easier to get the springs in because there are not extended bumpstops. The bumpstops on the Tera kit made it alot harder to get the springs back in, thats why I had to drop my trackbar.
