I just bought a few pizzas for everybody when we had my lift party, and we had a great time and I learned a lot. Plus, I made some really great friends! That is get to go wheel with now too!
Since you are in high school, don't know how you are going to supply the beer for everybody. Plus.....I doubt your parents would like it if a bunch of adults come over with a cases of beer and work on your Jeep in their garage. Might wanna make sure you have it at somebody else' house.

I don't think it would be wise to tackle a gear install during a lift party. Unless that party was at a professional shop and one of the guys has done gears before. As others said, gear install should be done by a pro or very experienced wrencher. Gears are not a bolt-on affair.

Lol well then see if someone will host one and supply pizza? Maybe give someone there money to get them some beer? Just ask around on the forum there are plenty of people willing to lend a hand and supply a lot of knowledge.

Rides great for still having stock control arms. I will probably do a Full Traction Long Arm kit soon.
I haven't been stuck on anything yet.
Check this tread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...-Little-Sluice He has a 4'' Full Traction Long Arm kit. I think that would answer your question.
