Default Rc 1.25" bl

I was thinking about buying the RC BL and installing it on the jeep. My question is how hard are they to put on? Can I do it myself? Or would it be better just to take it to someone? I read the instructions a little on their website and one of the first things it said was to have a certified tech install it. I'm by no means a mechanic but I would like to think that I'm not totally ignorant about it either. So what's y'alls opinions.

This was my first time to Install a body lift. In my opinion the RC BL was super simple to install. I think it took an hour all together to install. Since I already had a RC 3 1/2" suspension lift and a 1" teraflex spacers on the front I found the hardest part was figuring out how to get my floor jack to raise the body high to put the new picks in. I would say go for it.

I am pondering this as well. This is all that stands between me and 35s (other than money), but I do not have a floor jack or a place to work. BLAH.

I agree.The instructions show a list of tools needed.As long as you have those and can understand the directions it is very very simple.Took me probably an hour and a half to do the lift,relocate the rear bumper and remove the sidesteps from my sahara.I was very happy with the look as well.
