OME 2" Lift w/ HD Springs
I am looking for an installation .pdf or guide to go with this kit.
The write-up on ProjectJK has more parts to it than what I recieved, and no instructions or hardware came with the kit, just the 4 springs and 4 shocks...
I assume that they want me to re-use stock hardware, and I'm sure I could install the kit, but I'd like a bit more to go on than my own gut.

But remove old shocks, loosed control arm bolts, loosed frame side track bar bolts, remove axle end track bar bolts, remove swaybar link lower bolt, jack it up, put it on jack stands, lower the axle, your stock coils should just be able to basically fall out, put the new coils in their place, make sure they are seated properly, raise the axle back up to where you can put the track bar bolts back in, lower the jeep back down, put on new shocks in stock location, rock the vehicle back and forth, torque track bar bolts front and rear to 125 ft lbs, lower control arm bolts to 125 ft lb, upper control arm bolts to 75 ft lb, put your swaybar links back in (you will need longer ones by the way) then you will need to recenter your steering wheel, theres a write up for that on project-jk.com. its pretty simple. hope that helps
Which Project JK OME write up did you look at? 
There are two - the Northridge Long Travel and the standard OME.
Here's a pic from the write up:

The standard OME is just 4 coils & 4 shocks. As far as I know, no longer includes the yellow spacers in WOL's write up. I think my front shocks came with the bag containing the bushings/washers.
I'm not super mechanically inclined and I did my first OME install myself following the write up. Its pretty straight on.
I'd personally recommend adding a couple things to the kit to make it more complete but that's another topic.

Use WOL and northridge4x4 write up, since you did not purchase track bars and controll arms just substitute the stock parts within the installation.
I have this same kit, YOU need several other things.. Rear set of extended sway bar links move rears upfront if you dont replace the stock ones you'll twist the crap out of you sway bar it COULD flip when flexed.
Extended brake lines or brackets. This lift will net you 3 or more inches you will pull or bust the lines off.
Bump stops front and rear.
AT A MIN these additions should be considered.

Thanx for all the comments!
I have a JKS adjustable front track bar on the way to put in with the lift, and I was able to find the hardware bags.
I'll take pics of the install and post them up.

I think they are both pretty similar yielding 3-3.5" of lift on 4 door and closer to 4" on 2 door depending on added accessories (bumpers & winch). However, that is my best guess reading through threads.
