I guess it was a bit more than I assumed it would be. Took me about 6 hours to complete. Did the front first last night in the dark with nothing more than a drop light.
The rear was completed this morning and the wife and I just took her out to test it for noises. It is perfect!
I will toss some pics up tomorrow but there isn't much to look at until the new meats arrive.
TF builds a hell off a product. Anyone considering this should definitely jump on it. The install definitly got me aquiated with my new Jeep as well. It's amazing what a difference only 2.5 inches feels like on the road.

I did my TF Budget boost alone last wednesday in just under 3 hours. The only thing I wrestled with was reinstalling the rear coils. The rest of the car was a BREEZE.

Air tools, fast jack, and plenty of experience with lift kits can get er done!

That's because it's probably 3.5". On my 2-door Rubicon, the TF 2.5" coil lift actually gave me 3.5" in front with the stock bumper. Slap on an off road bumper and winch, and you're back down to 2.5"-2.75" of lift.

Here's some pics of it completed. The other car in the pics is my 97 Viper GTS which is supercharged putting out 900+ RWHP! It is a beast. The Jeep will be one too soon.

Still debating on whether I should install the track bar drop bracket that came in the kit. It drives perfect as is.

Very nice. Looks great. Been thinking of adding that lift as well. But not enough $$ for the lift and new paws yet. So can do the lift and as $$$ allows new paws.. Sweet.
