Be prepare, and get some bolts/nuts for the rear shocks, coil spring retainers, that will save you some time from running to the store.
You might also want to rent some tools from Autozone....here are my loaners but you don't really need the coil spring compressor (remove draglink and swaybar should let the axle drop low enough) nor the pulley puller (if you are not installing new disconnect).

Go thru my build thread, it would give you a rough idea what you are facing.
if you want your more than welcome to my garage, I dont have Air tho. just plenty of hand tools and space. I really wanna help with this to see what I'm getting myself into. Iv done plenty of lifts/drops on other stuff but never had to deal with the jeep quirks. Im in NLV off donna and washburn
I have a breaker bar, pitman arm puller, tie rod separator, IDK what else you would have to rent.
