Hello all, I recently bought a TJ and I got a killer deal so I accepted the hideous body lift and bought it. It looked like it was done well, the jeep is in great shape. I hate the look of it, and I am already planning a full suspension makeover/lift this winter. I consider myself very mechanically inclined and I plan to take the body lift off myself. My question is....what all should I look for before removing the pucks? I know all of the below. I'm sure I'm missing something, and help much appreciated.

Remove fan shroud bolts and radiator support.

Unhook gas tank filler neck.

Check steering stem for extension.

Check transfer case for extension.

Chechen shifting linkage for extension.

Remove pucks one side at a time, only hand tightening the bolts until both sides are secured and body is on mounts.

Is this about it? Again any input before I tackle this would be awesome! Thanks all!
 
I'm not sure, it's not small. Its ugly as hell too. I don't like the gap in the wheel well between the frame and the tub.
 
You seem like a reasonable guy, so...

Haha well pictures will happen. I have built tons of stuff, from diesels to bikes. This is my first cheap. I hope to impress you all.....so you buy things from me hahahah! I make bumpers grilles everything homemade. I have a full rein of our families manufacturing shop to mess with.
 
I'm also no expert so I commonly may ask questions that seem self explanatory, but I'm a relentless planner. So I'll always take offerings of input! Thanks guys!
 
Also loosen up the bars that go between the firewall and the radiator. That will let you move the Grill around without stressing the firewall or grill shell. That tip is something the @mrblaine told me and its not in the instructions of many body lifts (I'm sure it is in the Savvy instructions).
