It's not too bad, just don't be in a hurry. I installed mine solo over two days while on vacation. I did the front on day one and the rear on day two. Then did the u-joints and a transfer case drop the following week. It didn't vibe that bad, but it was noticable. And that was only 2.5" of lift.

Be sure to have a good floor jack, a come-a-long and bottle jack handy. Luckily XJs come with a bottle jack

 

Nah man, I didn't have another vehicule back then so I paid my mechanic to do it. I don't have the tools or skills to do this.

 

Ahh I see.. well I see you live in canada soo I can't ask how much it'd cost to get it done haha oh well I love doing projects like that! More bonding time with the ole dad

 

$6000 in funny colored Monopoly money! :P Do they salt the roads in Kansas? Up here and in the northern US rust can be a maaaajor problem if you want to, oh I dunno, try and remove the rear shock bolts. lol

 

Oh heck. I can reach right through the rust hole in the floor and turn the bolts. It's quite convenient.

 

Luckily for me my rear shock bolts weren't rusted. Only had issues with the transfert case drop.
