No problem! I'm doing a new lift and figured that I might as well just get my own stuff and not half to worry about borrowing things from others all the time. These were good quality , and good price. Hopefully they last along time.

Got the Craftsmen 3/8 torque wrench. Still searching for a floor jack. I'm probably going with the harbor freight 6 ton stands at 45 bucks.

Sears has SUV jack stands for around $30. They will go to 22". I bought some last week for my lift.

The way that all my harbor freight tools have broken in the first couple uses I wouldn't be trusting the jack stands.

Ended up with the 6 ton harbor freight and 3 ton jack.

Several guys I've talked with swear by the 6 ton stands. They feel solid.

The jack was on sale so I'll give it a shot. When u got home I tested it. It lifted the heck out if my jk.

I think I'm set. The kit should be here on Monday. Looks like I'll be doing the install next Saturday the 16th. I hope it goes smooth. I feel like I've prepared for a test in school with all of the research. Thanks for your help guys. Y'all are a o k in my book. If I run into some crap I'll be yelling for help from you.
