First off, thanks for your service.

Now, that's alot of parts! Do you have just a few days to do this before heading back out, or are you able to take your time?

Most of the stuff just looks like bolt on, except for the lift, SYE, and driveshaft.

When it comes to these three things, I'd install the lift first, so that the driveshaft angles don't change later. I'd then install the SYE. I found that watching a few youtube videos helped, like this one:

As to the driveshaft, you'll most likely need adjustable rear control arms (usually people get the uppers) to get the driveshaft installed correctly. The idea is to roll the pinion up, so that it points at the transfer case, like this:



Once you get this done, you should be able to drive your Jeep down to the alignment shop. You really need to have an alignment after lifting it. I'd suggest going to Firestone and springing for the lifetime alignment - I've used it about 6 times on my TJ so far.


Post some photos of the install.

You need a rear adjustable track bar and there are no bump stops included in the kit. Keep the stock pigment arm. And don't use the drop bracket for the track bar.


Suggest getting a steering box stabilizer.
