Well, over the course of the week I finished installing my lift everyday after work; just straight to the jeep for about 4-5 hours and my day off about 10hours, ran into many problems I guess because it was my first time ever installing a lift, I loved the experience! Had about 2 stripped bolts. Oh also including the hard brake line nut was rounded off, but I got that off with PB blaster (love that stuff!) and vice grips. I'll let the pictures do some explaining of some problems I had. Now just have to put my 33's on and wait until I get into my buddies shop for the SYE don't worry the T-Case Drop is only temporary I'll let the pictures explain some problems now enjoy!

Grinding welds is a pain in the ***. Check out these front frame stiffeners that were on a jeep we got for parts. My dad went at em with a grinder, but me being slightly educated took a chisel to em haha. Op painted them before welding and did no prep to either surface.

That chisel is going right through the center of that booger

Parked on a snowbank in a buddys yard to avoid a tow. Made it through the night! Backed right out just now. Up here you can't park on the streets from 11pm til 5 am for the plows.
