The frame side is easy enough, just a wrench to hold the nut and torque the bolt down to 125ft/lbs. The axle side is a bit tougher. You may have to remove the steering stabilizer (this is easy as anything as its just two bolts. The reason the axle side is more tough, is you will see that Jeep has welded on flags to the nuts, if you have a welder or could find a welder to weld some flags to match the Jeep ones on the new grade 8 stover nuts, then you would have a much easier time, otherwise it just will take some time as the space for the nut does not allow for a wrench to get in there. You will have to tighten by hand at first then tighten with a torque wrench after its down most of the way. If you have issues with the stover nut on the axle side, you can always swap it out for a regular grade 8 nut and locking washer, this is what I did, but requires re-torquing (I do it when I change my oil). I have had zero issues with it so up to you and what you find easiest. Im sure others will say they had no issues withe stover nuts at all, it is the recommended way to go.

In my experience, ESP if you have any mods done on your jeep.. Dealerships aren't much help in this type of situation. I have had better luck with custom shops. They tend to know and recognize the quirks that come up after suspensions, bigger tires, etc.
