Default Any tips

Just bought a TF 2.5" coil lift. I'm going to install it myself. Any installation tips would be greatly appreciated.

Go down to the write-ups area. Stickied at the top is an index. Any of the lift installs will help, as they all use pretty much the same steps. Jack up a corner, disconnect some stuff, remove the coil, install the new coil (or the old coil with the new spacer), reconnect some stuff, move to next corner, repeat. Not difficult, just a little time consuming if you have never done it before. A tall floor jack and a couple tall stands are a big plus. Air tools are a big plus. Access to a lift is a big plus. A post in the Staging Area offering beer and pizza could turn out to be a huge plus.

Don't rely on the template without measuring and re-confirming the position of the hole for the rear track bar.

The front passenger side coil is a pain in the a$$.
