Track bar and front lower control arm install
I'm not a mechanical wiz so I'm having a local shop install my TF 2.5 coil lift on Tuesday. After reading a lot of posts I decided to bite the bullet and I ordered a TF front adj track bar and front lower control arms. If I get them Monday I'm going to have them installed by the shop. If not I'm thinking a do it myself job is in order. What's the complexity and what kind of tools will I need?

it's super easy to do and you don't even need to raise your jeep off the ground or even remove any tires. here are a couple of write-ups that will help you out:

on the lower control arms, just set them to 23" center to center and then work on one side at a time. follow the proceedure on the caster setting write-up to shift your axle up or down as needed to get the arms in.
