Well I had some budget issues came up after a motorcycle accident so I went this route for the time being.....RK and Marcus at RCO will definitely get my business when the BIG lift goes on....So here's some pics for now. Took me about 2.5 hours by myself using the one corner at a time method on the front and I managed to do the rears at the same time....I tried to take as close BEFORE and AFTER pics as I could manage. Pics are from different times so there are some shadows casting. Enjoy!
Did you use the spacer levevling kit or the spring one? Been thinking about building mine using the spring kit plus a 1" BL to give alittle more room, for the 35's

I'm bout to install mine today was wondering what size sockets did u guys use to loosen everything up. The write up it comes with doesn't say what size to use. And this being my first jeep I'm a bit clueless. And help would be great

Have look around www.project-JK.com . Pretty sure wayoflife outlines all the tools needed for any of the projects he's done, and he's definitely done suspension projects.

I used 18mm and 19mm wrenches and sockets. I had access to two floor jacks along with the jack stands. When putting the springs back in I used a long pry bar to pop them back in. Also, a grease gun.
My kit came with extra grease zerks and I took off the existing ones and put those on. When I tried to grease the existing ones that wouldn't take any. I think it was a 10mm for the zerks.

Be sure to remove the existing zerks on the links and place them directly into the trash. Those are worthless. 18mm & 19mm pretty well takes care of everything. Just take your time and keep an eye on any lines that may be pulling taught as you drop the axle. The lower you can go the less wrestling with getting the springs back in. Good luck!
