That is the most exciting feeling, until you install it of course.
I had the box open and just staring at it. Trying to play with it, but there's not much you can do with it not on the Jeep, lol.

Don't forget to use some PB blaster on the bolts a few days before you start the install.

When we had a lift party here in NY the quote of the day was "PB Blaster, I put that s**t on everything!"

b/c the other stuff I get is free or close to it, and I could not get a lift for free, so I bartered with my mom and cut down her 3 20-30 foot pine tree that were eaten by bore beatles, am laying a concrete step, and fixing part of our wall and fence.
It is all in the science!

Now now... I don't have that many lights, the hella 500's will go as soon as I get a front bumper... which looks like awhile.

TIRES SHOULD BE HERE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS YES!
I am doing mine in a couple weekends and need to make sure that these are all of the tools that I need, for I do not want to have to play guess the size of the nut!!!

5/16 nutdriver air box tube clamp
10 mm deep socket 1/4"drive cruse control mod
13 mm socket 1/4" drive battery tray nuts (3)
3/4 deep socket 1/2" drive wheels
15mm socket 1/2" drive top rear shocks
18 mm deep 1/2" drive sway bar end links and top plate nuts
21 mm deep 1/2" drive upper ball joint nut, upper and lower clevis bolt
15 mm and 18 mm wrench lower rear shock mount
BIG pry bar
hammer
long pointed punch or pry bar with punch end
torque wrench

Do I use the supplied bumpstops, or make the 2-hockeypuck system?

And speaking of torque wrench, no one has every said what the torque specs are for each part...?
Found them on allj's... but are they correct?

It is very important to make sure you tighten
all bolts back down to factory torque
specifications. Here is a small breakdown of
all suspension bolts and their corresponding
torque settings.
FRONT SUSPENSION
Four upper shock mounting nuts: 80 lb-ft
Clevis bracket bolt at bottom of shock: 65 lb-ft
Lower ball joint nut: 60 lb-ft
Clevis bracket at lower control arm: 110 lb-ft
Lower stabilizer link at lower control arm: 100
lb-ft
Axle nut: 100 lb-ft
Rotor bracket bolts:100 lb-ft
Bearing hub bolts: 96 lb-ft
Tie-rod ends nuts: 80 lb-ft
REAR SUSPENSION
Shocks (upper): 80 lb-ft
Shocks (lower): 85 lb-ft
Rear stabilizer bolts at lower suspension arm:
73 lb-ft
Upper control arm: 90 lb-ft
Lower control arm: 125 lb-ft
Pinch bolt on top of differential: 70 lb-ft

Thanks

Looks like you have everything under control. :JEEPIN:

Except maybe a couple of ratchet straps. (to pull your clevis in back in place).

In the pic, looks like the fronts have huge spacers on them... like a Daystar or something. ???
