Very easy to work on. I used project-jk write-up or the TF BB. Just remember to torque to correct settings and don't cut corners. Loosen and retighten all related parts and you should be fine. PM my if you have any questions. I'll be glad to help in anyway. I installed all my components in a parking lot.

Nice height. I swapped out my sport suspension with JKUR springs and shocks and didn't get that much of a difference. I put on 18/59 springs and my height in the front and rear is 36 1/2" from the ground to the lip of the fender. Yours looks much higher.

Very happy! I did not even get much if any sag after adding front bumper and winch. I originally had 14/55's. I have 255's and a Buddy has 285's. I think he had same number of springs as mine and a TF puck kit. I measured from from of of flares and I was still 1" higher than his.
I even parked next to a guy with 285's and TF BB. I was still close in height to him. I'll have to find a pic. His is a 4dr.
