    Looking to have my kit installed in the coming months. I already have the brackets and rear King 2.0 shocks, but I only have hand tools with me. Being military sucks with this type of stuff. Single and did not want to haul my entire shop here to just move it in a year or so.

    Any reputable business or person that can or has done this install? I would do it myself, but it would be hard to weld it up with my finger and brain power alone.

    I've done the install myself. I have a welder and everything to do the shock relocate. I just don't have any free weekends for a while, cuz of kids soccer and gymnastics. After the season is over with I'm down to help.

    I still have wheels and tires to order anyway.

    It's gonna depend on the kit you buy and the length of your shocks. Most that have a 12" do the / \ so it would fit and have up travel.

    I just looked at Bamf relocate for the 1st gens, and the crossmember has multiple mounting points for the shocks.
