Im a new member and know all about using the search button, but i couldnt find anything with that option...I just bought a 3" lift kit from iron rock off road , so far i cant find a shop around the twin cities that will install it for less than 1500 bucks, so im going to tackle this project with some friends this week...i have a 90 jeep cherokee thats not rusty underneath, so hopefully i wont have frozen bolts etc....
you guys have any advice for the noob before i tear into this piece? anything tips to make this easier, ill appreciate.

 

PB Blaster......lots of it every day for a week prior.

 

Beer....lots of it(every day prior optional)

 

impact gun will help.

 

Spring compressor, if it wasnt obvious.

 

beer and pb blaster..seems like a pretty straight forward project, but im a little clueless on the add a leaf, thats the only part that make me nervous...will i need an alignment after this lift? i guess i could google this........

 

Last one.......be careful not to snap the upper rear shock mount bolts......ask me how I know. Its a PIA to fix if you do.

 

got the spring compressors, will probably have an impact gun too..

 

my jeep is freakishly rust free underneath, all the bolts for everything look brand new, the stock shocks are pretty new as far as i can tell, whoever bought this new undercoated the crap out of this thing..hoping for a pain free install.

 

good luck!

 

if your only doing three inches you dont even need the spring compressor... x2 have paitence with the rear shock mounts.... both of mine busted .. in that case make sure u have something handy to pound em out

 

That's what I was going to say. I ended up cutting my rear floor and all kinds of BS
