Your profile says its a Skyjacker lift. So did you switch to Rock Krawler?

Unless its the 2.5 stock mod kit, it doesn't seem like it. That front lower control arm in that first pic speaks volumes...

I did it in a weekend by myself. Maybe 6 hours total. Most my bolts had to have little heat to come apart.

Cool. I'm going to be going to just one vehicle, my jeep. So I need to be able to complete it in a weekend. Ill probably have help so hopefully everything will go smoothly. I'm hoping that having a 2012 will help with the bolts. I'm hoping they haven't had a chance to set in much so they'll be easier to come out.

All of my bolts were pretty easy to break loose. Only exception would be control arm bolts. Those were in there

Spray all your bolts with WD-40 the night before you do the install

Yup! I did this before my install and everything went pretty easily. PB blaster helps for the hard to break bolts, but if you have an impact, it will make quick work of that.

An impact wrench works wonders

I have battery and air powered impacts so tools wise ill be fine. I'm actually a diesel mechanic by trade so I have a good grasp on stuff but semi trucks and jeeps are a lot different. I've never installed a more complex lift before either just done the basic could spacers and torsion rods. I've done more lowering on cars than anything lol. This will be the first true lift I've done. I can wait if need be for a month or 2 until I find a new daily driver but I'd like to get the lift done sooner rather than later. So if it won't take but a weekend I'd like to go ahead and do it. My plan was to do the c gussets and nitro sleeves, front drive shaft, and at least break the exhaust loose where the exhaust spacer will go the one weekend. Then the next weekend get the lift done and tires mounted.
