Default lift tricks and tips?

ok, i am planning on installing a rustys offroad 3.25" lift here in the next couple of weeks with front lower adjustable arms and rear uppers.

are there any kind of tricks or tips that yall can offer or that are on the site? i have read the write ups about 23 times and think i have the general idea but it is always different when you are doing it yourself.

i have heard that the arms are difficult to get into the mounts because of the bushings?

are there any necessary items that i need to get before starting this project? grease, etc.?

thanks alot

Reserve plenty of time as sometimes trips are needed to the parts store, take your time, and get a friend to help.

yeah i am getting my father-in-law to help me since he has jacks and stands and i dont. i think the rustys kit comes with front and rear adjustable trac bars. so i shouldnt need to buy a rear one. i saw in jp mag where they used ratchet straps to help get the axles centered.

thanks

When you start the front, do the passenger side first. Stupid Drag link makes it hard if you do it the other way.
