I borrowed spring compressors from a co-worker.

i got the 6'' lift and it was very easy to install. i have no experience with installing lifts but decided to do it anyway(didnt want to pay someone $400 to do it). the instructions say EASY BOLT ON ASSEMBLY. took me one weekend to install.
Good luck with yours.

just put this same kit on last tuesday night it was a breeze with a shop lift and 2 people. Just did one wheel at a time and had it all done in under 2 hrs. Just take the wheel off un bolt the brake line, unhook the sway bar and the shock its just a matter off taking out the old and putting in the new. The new springs aren't bad at all to put back in just have one pull down on the axle and the other push the spring into place. Hope this helps a little any questions just ask. Good luck BTW i think it rides better than stock and i have the dual steering stabalizer tpp

Dont forget if you have an auto tranny to remove the tranny skid. You can pretty easily do some damage to your driveshaft if your trying to force the springs is as the driveshaft will be up against the skid.

Mine was REAL easy to install, and a spring compressor will help with the front!! I had to step back and re-group with the coils. But I didnt have to re-center my steering wheel so no crazy ABS/ESP lights!
Its rides rather good, I got friends that can't believe how it rides for a lifted Jeep!!
Here are some pictures with stock steelies and 285/75R16's.....
This is the onlt thing that is not right about the kit...It don't come with longer swaybar links and it brings down the front one were its not parrell with the frame! But with the money you save, you can buy some adj discos!!

i installed two of these lifts... one on mine and one on my dads jeep. 1st one took an hour and a half... the second on under an hour. I also bought the RC rear alignment bracket. they say you dont need it but I got them anyway. it brings the rear tires back to square. the instructions with the lift are easy to read. just follow along. I did mine with a floor jack and jack stands. I love the stiffer ride and the 2.2 shocks make it so it dont beat you to death. I didnt have to recenter my front wheels either.
