Default Install help

I was thinking of getting EVO JK Drag link Flip Kit. I was wondering if anyone has installed this or something similar and would be willing to give me a hand. I have a pretty limited tool set and always like to have a second opinion while working on the jeep due to my limited mechanical skills. Thanks,

Drag link flip kit = piece of cake! I also have the steering nuckle reamer. Just post pics of the kit once you get in and let me know when you're willing to come to Sacto for a day - and buy me lunch!

Would you guys be up for doing two of them? Mine is sitting in the garage also! Got to cut off my JKS trackbar steering stabilizer bracket also to get it on.

Thanks Brad, I would really appreciate your help. I'll order the kit this week and pm you when it gets here. Just being new to wrenching on the jeep i don't want to make any beginner mistakes.

Hey ken, I'm down i need all the experience i can get. I also want to see the rig with the evo setup. If you head up to Hollister to wheel if you have a extra seat mind if i join? With my wife going back to school (use to car pool to work with her) i can't risk any expensive breaks now that my jeep is a daily driver. No extra funds for the year after paying for school.

You bet Ken we can do two! I just need to see the tool requirements in advance to see what I don't have. I have a plasma to cut off stuff as well.

I just installed this last weekend when I did the front Evo coilover kit. It's a piece of cake. No special tools but a 7/8 drill bit to drill out the steering knuckle.

Thanks Jason. Did it require a taper bit, or just the standard 7/8" bit? I think I have both, but know I have the taper reamer.

Just a 7/8 bit. It comes with a collar that is tapered that is put into the 7/8 hole. I used a cone bit that maxes at 7/8 and went all the way through.

If I roll on this Sunday to Hollister, I already have a passenger riding shotgun! Bring your rig out and just don't do the extreme stuff!
