    Make sure no children are around. You don’t want to be teaching them any new words.

    even then... spacers lead to snapped shocks from bottoming before bump stop over stuff like speedbumps at the mall

    Can we get some actual evidence of that, other than the same couple of pictures that have been floating around TW for years?

    Every suspension lift I have done has taken me and a friend roughly 12 hours. Usually just taking our time, bullshitting, drinking beer, and using the wrong tools for the job. We usually have access to air tools and a torch though, so rusted nuts havent slowed us down much.

    Those were full suspension lifts though, spacer lifts only take us a maybe 4 hours

    Also as a side note, I’ve scraped the bottom in the front a few times when going through some rocky trails due to the rake on the 5lugs, so the lift is necessary

    THIS!!! Fack took me 2 days to get a bolt free, if you have time and a spare vehicle I’d say garage would be fine but if you don’t have proper heat (torch) well... so with that in mind OP you make your decision !
