I've done alot of research here and from what I understand when putting in HD OME springs and Ranchos all around I need to replace the bumpstops as well(I think Tom mentioned it a few times :lol: ). Anything else I should be doing? I'm replacing stock...I don't think uca is necessary right, unless I go higher?

Also, are there any how-to instructions here on how to do it all? I know about how dangerous the springs can be when replacing them....
Thanks again guys.

All the directions are the same as the Frankenlift install article here:

The only additional thing you'll need is a strut compressor for the springs.

sounds like you've just about got it covered, just read up on all of the lift installs from here and jeepkj they will help you out a lot!

and don't be afraid to ask questions while you are installing it, I had too
