I would go and borrow spring compressors from your local auto-parts establishment, just in case.

Where did you get the lift and how long did it take? I have one back ordered through Quadratec and was told it could be weeks. I might call and see if any are coming in. I already put my spacers on and have the tires ready, just need the lift!

This is a write-up I did for the Full Traction 3" Econo Lift and it should be able to help you out as much of it is the same thing

Default Teraflex BB

UPS has been trying to deliver mine for the last 2 days! Apparently they need an adult signature (over 21yo) to release, but for those of us that work for a living it's hard to be home for delivery. No other options were given on the note for an alternate delivery location.

I'll be wrenching come Saturday morning........will post pics after.

yeah man if you need help during the install let me know, we did mine no problems, just make sure you do not put the front bumpstop extensions on until AFTER you put the spacer on!! it took us an hour to get the bumpstop back out b/c we put it on first, and the spacer will not fit over it. and make sure you have a jack under the axles to keep them from dropping down all the way, b/c with out the shocks on, they will fall far enough to break your brake lines and stuff. I"ll pm you my number incase you need to call during the install....

Default Kit shipped incomplete

Well, I received my Teraflex 2.5" kit today, but it's missing one of the brake line extension brackets.

Hopefully Quatratec will be able to fix this quickly by sending me another part. I sent them an email this evening explaining my problem. Unfortunately these kits are drop shipped from the vendor.

Soooo, check your kit contents before tearing your Jeep apart......frustrating.
