Default 2.5" TF lift (going up?)

(7:42 am) Today I begin my journey upwards. 2.5" Teraflex coil lift w/extenders. I hope it is as easy as all of you make it out to be. I've been reading all of the posts and write up's since april when I got my jeep. I will probably have 1001 questions as I progress. As long as the kids leave me alone today I hope to finish with no problems. I will take pix and measurements to make sure I put it back togeather properly.

If anyone has any do's and dont's. Plaese chime in.

coffee
smokes
beer
leftover pizza should be all
I need from what I've gathered through the posts on this subject.

Wish me luck......I'm going in.

Yup, good advice. Do not drink while you are doing it.

Drinking and lifting is bad and can cause major complations. Recheck all your bolts and torque them properly.

The beer is the reward at the end. I'm still on the rear, Springs are in, working on sway bar links. I need a fan.

Back is done, but I need to turn the jeep around so I get the front into the garage... When I set the rear down should I torque the rear control arm bolts since the rear is done? And then move and do the front.
