Too much for one man. Lift kit
Brown Santa dropped off rc 2.5 inch coil spring lift at 3pm. I started at 4 and only one axle done and its 6pm.I think i over estimated this task for only one man, hand tools, my aching back and one evening... Would it hurt any to drive it to work and back with only the fronts done and do the backs tomorrow?
Im going see how late it will be once i get the second front done. I would like it done tonight.

Just got done with the front and I'm tired. Wife wanted pizza hit so i took a pic outside. Looks leveled as far as the body. Just the space between the rear fender and tire makes it look off.
Starting to look good. Will tackle the rear tomorrow or friday.

I know your pain. Just finished installing mine the other day. I had the 3 1/4" kit but didn't install the spacers so basically the same thing. Its worth it in the end though your almost there

Just remember to "set the lift" when you are going through all this!
Loosen your control arm bolts and trackbar to allow it to release any tension.
Check, double check and triple check for any loose bolts. Pretty common to have to retorque all bolts after a few hundred miles

Sounds like a fun project. I'm going to start the install of my 3" long arm this weekend. I don't know if I'm going to finish it but I'm going to try my hardest. It's getting hard looking at the stack of 35" tires and wheels in my garage...haha
