I've done a few 3rd gen body lifts in my time. They're a breeze now, just sorta time consuming.

I'm gonna help a friend install a 2 inch 4Crawler body lift on his manual 1st gen this weekend - any surprises I should know going into this? Seems pretty straight forward....

 

Piece of cake. Same thing. PB Blaster all the nuts the night before...at several itervals so they get several coats...or you'll regret it.
