Default Adjustable lower control arms
So I won a set of BDS adjustable lowers for front and rear.
Currently I have a 4" pro comp budget lift, and 35" tires.
Can they be installed just by bolt on? What special tools would I need? I'm not a suspension guy but know my way around my tools.

:-) hate seeing them just sitting in the boxes collecting dust..

yes, the lowers can just be installed by bolt on and even with your jeep sitting on all its tires. you'll need a 21mm socket and wrench, floor jack and a torque wrench that can be set to 125 ft. lbs. or more. this write-up will help you out - see the caster section:

Its a pretty straight forward install. I did mine in about 2 hours. I followed WOL's write up as well.
