Nice man! If its the Coil lift your going to like it! For the price, it really does great and you will have no problem keeping up with people with like builds!!!

Install for me took about 1.5-2 hours. Make sure you un screw your brake lines to get the extra droop when swapping out coils. If uou leave them on your going to risk stretching them out as you will need more droop to switch out the couils

take off the tires, throw your jeep on jack stands.Throw a jack under the axle to make sure it dont fall, Take off the shocks sway bar links,take off brake calipers to get more droop in the front. lower jack slowly making sure not to damage your break lines. You might need a crow bar in the rear and an extra hand to help the the coils in. But its not too bad

after swapping out the coils. tight the bolts semi tight. After you drop the jeep back on the ground. Tighten every thing to spec. Dont tighten everything to spec while jeep is still in the air because when you lower it, the weight of the jeep puts more pressure on the bolts and will make some nuts looser.

Good luck

Yes this is true. I remember seeing a Rough Country video on YouTube Installing this lift. I just gave you some light instructions. I didn't go into detail, just giving you a little info!

Post pics when done!

Ok. So I just watched the TeraFlex installation video for the 2.5" lift and they made it seem like you can't put that lift on unless you first install the exhaust spacers. Is this true?

Sorry just saw the RC above. Exhaust spacers yes...but may just want to hve a exhaust shop so the work. Cleaner and.more dependable. Cost me 60 bucks.

could I install the lift and just not disconnect? Until I get the exhaust spacers?
