So the lift kit, tires and wheels and SYE finally all got to my house and I had a free weekend to install it.
Overall I’d say it was pretty straightforward. With the help of my two brothers and a car lift it took about 17 hours to install. I did a Rough Country 4 inch lift and 33x12.5 Pro Comp XMTs on black steel rims. Overall it gave the Jeep about 6 inches of lift. I also came by a Smittybuilt front bumper so that was installed as well.
My only complaint about the lift kit so far is that the instructions are a little shy on detail. I thought they could use more pictures and be a little more descriptive. Obviously we were able to make it work but having more info is never a bad thing.
I will try to update this later about how the lift holds up and if I think of anything noteworthy.

That's a huge transformation in one shot! Did you cycle the suspension to check for contact/rubbing?

Mostly yes, I didn’t disconnect the sway bar but as far as I could flex it until a tire came off the ground. No rubbing. The lift kit advertised that it should work perfect with 33 inch tires as long as the rim has an offset to the outside. It has full turn radius without rubbing too!
