Got done about an hour ago. Took 7.5 hours but all together it went really well. I did however end up stripping the passenger side spring retainer bolt but luckily I had a 3/8-16 tap on hand. Every other bolt came out pretty smooth. I am however one of the unlucky ones that needs a new track bar.
I must say, if your jeep has been in pretty much dry climates like california or arizona you should be ok without breaking any bolts, especially the rear upper shock bolts. Also I used PB Blast on every bolt spraying them down every other day for a week but every day would be best

Oh yeah ive been planning on painting all the trim here pretty soon, I might bed line them though cuz I did the bumper about a year an a half ago.
It's def strange feeling now with the lift cuz I'm so used to driving on dead suspension.

Good choice on the front bumper.. I love my JCR. I got clipped by a chevy awhile back.. smashed his hood up and all it did to mine was crack a blinker haha. I really like there stuff. Lighter than alot of them out there but still strong.
