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

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