First big thing I did to my jeep. I'm 16 and did it by myself in 2 hours. Super straight forward. Follow the directions and you're good. If you have any specific questions just pm me. Goodluckkk

You don't need a spring compressor. A few metric sockets, jack, and jack stands are all that's needed. I installed a spring lift on mine and a spacer lift on my wife's.

I just did mine last week. Not too bad. Definitely make sure you disconnect the brake line mounts to the body to get a little extra sag on the axle. I also disconnected my rear sway bar links even though it wasn't in the instructions. There are a few different threads on here that talk about the install.
