Title: Installing a lift...
Post by: outlaw on June 18, 2008, 07:24:19 PM
so I just ordered a 4" rubicon express lift for my YJ. Ive never done this before any tips or is it pretty basic stuff?

Pretty basic if you've got a jack and a socket set, tape measure and some wrenches you're good to go.

Pen lube on the shackle bolts, Ubolts, and hangers......   :)

Exactly, start soaking ALL the bolts about 1 week before and they should be good to go when you install the lift.  If you don't have an impact gun, a good 18" breaker bar will be needed.
