Question to all who have installed the 2.5 RK Max travel kit...

Spend a good amount of time lining up the control arms before putting them on. Use the night before install to do that. I used a cordless impact wrench, which was a huge time saver. Remember to use anti-seize on your bolts.
If you're drilling into things like perches make sure you have some quality drill bits.
I started with the back because it looked easier and it built my confidence for the front.

Yup measure everything to spec before the install. Use masking tape to tell you which arm is which, I had all 8 to replace and it just made it easier. It took 2 full days to do my 3.5 max travel in my driveway. I did the rear all by myself and had a buddy help with the front. Good drill its and get two of each. I broke a couple.
When tightening the control arms on the vehicle off set the joint so when you tighten it "with your big boy pants" its center.
Break bleeder is a must if you have longer lines to replace. Didn't take long to replace one bleed it move to the next. Once all 4 are done like that , go around and bleed them again. Have some sore break fluid on hand.
Take it to a good alignment shop that will adjust all 4 ca's if needed to set it to spec +4 castor. Hopefully the let you in the shop and you can watch them do this. If you are in San Diego hit me up I'll give you the place I go.
Tighten everything down. And then tighten everything again. Unless you have a heavy duty air tool to get 200lbs then do it manually.
Love my rk its rock solid to me. Feel free to hit me up if you need help or have a question.
Cheers
