driveway lift install
Nu2Jeeps:
Thanks guys!
My biggest concern is getting under the jeep, or better yet getting it off the ground. I dont have a floor jack, but i am working on borrowing one. now i am wondering if i should do a set of control arms at the same time just to be safe.
I have read a lot in the last couple of days about people's opinions on that subject with a 2.5" lift.
Sounds to me like it would be best to do it at the same time as the left install since installing them will be about the same work as install on the lift. No reason to do the same work twice.
Thanks again for all of the help.
Trying to get it ready for Alabama in a few weeks.

Go to Harbor Freight and buy one of their 3 ton+ jacks and some good jack stands. You'll end up using it more than you'd think

Torque on control arm bolts is important, and some of the numbers are high. Need a good long arm torque wrench.

Down load the coupons.
On a Den Of Tools video he showed where the President of HF uses the same exact factory in China that makes the Snap On jack. The only difference is the paint.
Snap On $700 < HF $200
