    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Yes, not hard at all. Jack under the rear diff, tires off. Undo 3 bolts per leaf, plus remove the shock (not necessary). Go to BJ Moose's lift install.

    unless you live in the northeast, and have a thing called winter and salt... then its a fucking pain in the ass/good workout. hahaha, in theory its not hard, never know til you get under there.

    Yeah, you do. But that is kind of a no brainer or should be. Yes, you need to support the frame.
