Good luck! I used the project-jk write up. Lay out your tool before hand. I even marked the parts with the step of the directions. Overkill, yes but I went through the parts months before I installed. Also, layout your tools too.. Second set of hands is a lot better than flying solo. Oh, the bolt on tof the front shocks are 16mm and its hard to get to without an adjustable 16mm box wrench. You may want to grab one before the install. The big blue apron store had it, without having to buy a whole set.

I was wrong, used the TF instructions, sorry seems I always use the project-jk write up. One things that was helpful with the instructions was to have my computer up in the garage so I could see the pics better.

I just did this lift in my driveway to my 2012 JKU last weekend. It was cake. I watched the Teraflex install video for the kit in YouTube twice, and then just went for it. Having a friend help made it a breeze.

Did you get both ends off the ground at the same time, or did you do front then back or vice versa?

I did the back first then lowered it to the ground then did the front.. You'll be fine doing that instead of lifting all four off the ground.

I did the back with two stands and a 14" max jack, then did the front.
