Will do. It will be a first for me doing something like this.Please give your learning points afterwards. I’m installing mine in about 4-6 weeks
FIFYInvite a friend or two and buy BEER.
Kroil, Liquid Wrench, and Break-Free (in that order) all work significantly better. PB-Blaster is barely better than WD-40.... Tonight I begin the PB blaster soak
...But it can melt a styrofoam cup!PB-Blaster is barely better than WD-40.

Hopefully it will sit level afterward, rather than nose down. Love that color. I think they only produced it in 2003. Good luck!Well here it goes into the garage. Last time it’ll look like thisView attachment 188893
I’ve got plenty of time. If it takes me a week so be it. This is all new arms, track bar and the works. So I want it done right the first time. But I’m sure I’ll be chasing down stuff too!1. If you get tired, stop working.
2. After everything's installed, take a nap
3. Come back later and make sure everything is tight/torqued to spec
When I installed my lift, I was lucky to find a friend with a heated garage to use for a day. Just a day. I had done a lift install before, but this was also going to be new track bar and trailing arms. Started around 10 a.m. Rolled out of there around 3 a.m. Exhausted. Over the next month, I was chasing down rattles and squeaks due to shit not being tightened properly.
If you have time, take it.
and for anyone else doing this, gather up your loose change and pick up one of these:

I've had mine for 10 years and the thing is amazing.
yeah if you can't get a 2 or 4 post lift this is good way to go. I knew I needed 2 car storage so I did the 4 post lift, cost of the lift itself was about the same. Then it needs to be installed, chances are you need to lift the garage door tracks to a front torsion spring so that adds up.1. If you get tired, stop working.
