im just sayin you got to be realistic, i hate getting peoples hopes up. if you have a garage with lights we could work on it all night. just some stubborn bolts can take over an hour to get loose. I did my 3" lift by myself in 2 days but camerons 4.5 with long arms took more than 2 days with a few people. Really just depends on the jeeps willingness haha

The rear shock bolts were the only problem I had with mine. I just welded the shocks in place once the bolts broke.


PS - if a shop is required for something, I can do it at work when we are closed. Just PM me what you want done.

Start spraying the shock bolt with bp blaster every day at least once a day till we go to do the kit so we have a chance at getting them out
