I did mine with basic jack stands and a single floor jack in 2 hours. Granted I had air tools.

You will need to get it high enough to let the axle droop. So make sure your jack stands go high enough.
Yes, unfortunately I have this other problem(#%@!# key) that I'll have to wait for.lol.

Really sorry to hear that... its such an improvement, for the little (typical) effort + cost required.

You do not need a lift to do this with the wheels on and supporting itself. I am not sure why you are having issues.

That depends if you add extended bump stops or not. My 32's rub pretty bad up front without extended bump stops. If you extend the bump stops and run flat fenders, you could run 35's without any issues (most 35's are 34.5).

Teraflex advertises you can fit 34's. But they will rub like crazy when you flex.

Hmmm, I'm running 34's with the leveling kit and barely rubbed at full stuff before the body lift, like only at steering lock. With the body lift I know I can go up a tire size no problem. 4dr rubicon, your mileage may vary...

*shrug*

I drove up on my flexing rock and the front tire grabbed the fender.

Could also be a difference in backspacing on the wheels too, I'm running the moabs with spacers and you're running steel wheels. I have less than 4.5" backspacing...
