Default The best lift "How To"?

I am on the cusp of FINALLY lifting my hooptie (pictured below).

Going with IRO 3" premium lift with 31" BFG KO2 and a T-case drop.

https://www.ironrockoffroad.com/prod...-lift-kit.html

I have basically no wrenching experience but have lurked on here for quite a while and pieced together most of the basic knowledge/tools for the lift. I've still been searching though quite some time for the best/most comprehensive how to vid or post walking through the steps.

I'm a huge Bleepin' Jeep guy and will likely go there... But are there any other useful resources I'm missing before I jump in?

Get a can of pb blaster and spray every bolt your gonna take off a few days before you lift it.And be ready to cut off the leaf spring bolts also they rust in place.

You need heat to get the leafspring bolts out. An oxy-acetylene torch is your best friend.
