EVO Leveling Kit write up?

Just got my EVO level and was wondering if there is an install write up somewhere. I didn't see anything in a search. Or do I just follow the EVO instructions? I ask because for other smallish lifts, the write ups say to loosen track bar and a couple other things not in the EVO instructions.

Your $0.02?

Thanks

Follow the EVO instructions and it's pretty straight forward. I've installed two of these kits using just the directions each time and it worked Great.

I didn't loosen the track bar but did use a spring compressor on the front springs. Getting the longer springs in was the hardest part. I removed as little as possible and that could have increased the difficulty, but was. It too bad. Watch your break lines and you should be good to go along with the instructions without issue.

Word of advice. I would suggest you loosen up the track bar with all the control arm bolts. That way, its easier to get the axle lower, and when you tighten everything up. All the joints wont be in a bind after the new height.
Also, watch all your break/abs lines and such.

The result

2.5" in front and 1.5" in back

Got everything loosened just fine but how the #$%^ do you get 125 lbs on the control arms? I was wedged up against tires, walls, and the garage door with everything I had into it but couldn't get there. Didn't see room to put a extender pipe on the torque wrench for leverage.

Impacts with torque settings are a beautiful thing :D

Just get under there and push and pull till you hear click.

I unbolted the trac bar from the axle. Eddie has a good write up on how to put it back together with ratchet straps from his teraflex bb write up on project jk.com. It's probably on this forum to tell the truth
