lol, i think you'd loose it if you found out how much shops charge to put lift kits on the newer ifs trucks.
MAN you are fast.. I would pay to see you install a complete 3" lift in that time.
YOu can get newer spacer lifts installed that cheap around here pretty cheap, but anything over 5" of lift on newer IFS trucks installs start at 1500, and that is for a basic one.. I have heard stories of guys paying 2k plus. I dont mess with IFS trucks.. SOOo I dont worry about them.

Yupp, 2 grand is average for ifs lift kits.
BTW, I can probably jack the jeep up, take off the tires, put it on jackstands and remove one side leaf in about 1.5 hours. I must be eeeeehehextremely slow...

I have never had any luck with out using a torch to heat up the lock tight getting off any rear leafs... In fact that is now one of the first things I do when starting a lift.. I heat all the bolts I am going to take off with a torch... Even then it stalls my impact.

I've had a slightly better luck hitting a box wrench with a hammer, but then u definitely gotta have welder handy just in case. But yeah, torch is the best option next to cutting the whole thing off and forcing the bolt out without the leaf in the way
