Well, just to make you feel better, it was fairly easy/fun/straight-forward for me.

Pretty much anything I do, I run into some snag, and get mad.

The body lift, went smooth for the first time. Did it by myself in about 3-4 hours.

I used a regular floor jack with a few 4x4's (cut to about 8") stacked and lifted the body off the frame.... actually, im lying, I used 3 old broken surfboards underneath the jack to get it higher...but, if I were to have the 4x4's I would have used them.

Just need to take off the inner lining, hold the top of the bolt, and turn the bottom side at the same time kinda is awkward but doable.

Kyle, do you have a write up/directions to the fan shroud thing? I cant find it on the instructions.

Did you guys just use a hilift and jack off the body...heh heh hehhh

Also, how do you get the front in the air if you have TJM? Sorry for the million questions, i just want to make sure I have everything down.

also, anyone have the torque specs?

You can bolt on the body mount brackets with the supplied self tapping bolts:

Then, once in place, you could have someone weld them on at any time.

Ideally you want to place the jack near the center of balance of the body to lift both ends evenly. Floor or bottle jack under the floor with some wood blocks work well:
