You're gonna need ALOT of tools, breaker bar, vice grips, deep sockets, about 5 cans of pb blaster, coil compresser, probably new sway bars, possibly extended break lines, and a slip yoke drop, and a few good buddies, who wont bail.

An adjustable tracbar ~100$, t case drop kit 20$ -priceless, make sure you order the kit with the new lower control arms. And with a 255 width you may want wheels with less backspacing or wheel spacer because you will rub the control arms.

Don't drill and tap it. Use a center punch to knock the old nuts out. There will be 4 holes then. Fish 1/4" bolts into the holes and put nuts on the bottom.
lol, It's not THAT bad. I've done it all by my lonesome with a standard ratchet set, a small pry bar, some c-clamps and a floor jack.

Lol for sure. You can get work done with the right hand tools. Air just makes everything faster.
Also, add a fan and radio to that list.

is there any reliable 3in lift kits because some people say rough country is cruddy and have bad customer service. I want to get the 3in lift with adjustable track bar and was wondering which has a decent but cheap lift kit
