Its incredibly easy. I installed mine in about 1.5 hours with the help of a 4 and 6 year old. By myself I think I could of done it in an hour. Its the easiest lift of any kind I have ever installed.

It's really easy. The only hang up thats not in the instructions is 6 of the ten bolts have retainers on them to make sure if a bolt comes loose it's not going to get lost down the road. Take a pry bar to them with a little pressure and they will pop out. There isn't a need for a write up MORE's instructions are pretty good. I would suggest a Big F'ing Hammer to seperate the large washers from the stock body bolts. The washers get reused with the new bolts.
Heres mine with the lift

Sweet thanks for posting that pic. Man, I was just about to see if anyone had a pic with it installed. Do you have a pic of the back of your Jeep?

Also, do you stack the spacers with the originals, or do they replace the originals? Thanks in advance!

The rear pics I don't have. I have a shot of the front (below) it's about the only spot you can see the alluminum spacer. I far as the rear I am a little indifferent becuase I have black and the seam doesn't really show as much as a lighter color. The two bumpers by the grill get replaced with ones that have a through hole( factory has a bolt in the rubber) and the rest get the spacers on top. Now I haven't felt any extra vibration from these so I would recomend a solid piece like the MORE ones over the polyversions of Daystar.

I just got done with mine. It is very easy. My jeep has a 2.5 sus. lift. My 35 inch tires were slightly rubbing at full turn, so I installed a M.O.R.E 1'' body lift. I hope the pictures help you guys. Please, Let me know what you guys think.

Here are a couple of rear shots. I plan on painting the body seam in the back and the pinch seam on the sides of the body semi-gloss black before long.
