MTG and I just installed a full EVO Enforcer lift on his Jeep. Neither of us had lifted a Jeep before and neither of us are mechanics. Have an install party so you have a few extra sets of arms and eyes. You will save a ton of money and learn a lot about your Jeep.

X2 what Charlie said, craft shop is good but no beer. Spent 5 years at schofield. Could not afford a jeep so I ran a samuri. They even have a junk yard. Hey, seriously the lift is easy. I did a BB on the driveway by myself. Getting ready to upgrade to the 2.5"

Not to hijack your thread stinger, but I have a follow on question. I am getting ready to install the TF 2.5 also ( shock extenders) and have 2 questions:

1) While I have the Jeep on the lift, is there anything I should do/check while I am there?
B) Is there anything else i should have besides the lift kit (just in case or required. eg grease, bolts, etc..)?


I replaced my springs on my Suzuki Samurai about 12 years ago, but that was a while ago and I am a bit rusty if you will.
