Started in back. As Dirk at DPG suggest would happen, most of upper shock bolts broke. We were able to knock the tack-welded nuts out and fishnew bolts up and through the existing holes with the wire method many talk about. Dirk also recommended we try this method.

Boy, that looks silly - lifted rear and not up front! Getting ready to start the front end.

I had limited time and ran in to delays getting the control arm bolts out, so I had to leave the Jeep like this for a couple weeks.

Thanks to Hurricane Matthew, I was able to get away from work for a couple days and back home to finish up the front end. New springs, quick disconnects, and trackbar all went in pretty easily.

All done and very happy with the result. We wanted a compact build that fit the 30x9.5 ATs well, but provided for ample cargo.
