    Your sliders are on, right? Just (carefully) use a hi-lift to get it onto the jack stands :)

    I just need a hi-lift adapter and we can just jack them up from the sliders place the jack stands underneath. Or just go to AutoZone and buy a floor jack for like $100 which might be safer ;) Once we do that the rest is really easy.

    Oh also buy a good torque wrench set

    It may sound dumb, but if you haven't used a hi lift before, read the manual and watch a youtube video or two on how to operate them safely. They're great but dangerous if used improperly.

    Ive been looking at SOSConcepts(@EddyRRT) bumpers and rack for the soft topper. Was gonna do a weld together but itll cost me just as much no matter who I take it to.

    I highly recommend Amsoil for the oil because its the best you can buy. Dont use Mobil1 its just big store brand garbage to me.

    Really tempted too. Maybe I'll do the rack first and worry about bumpers after.
