Wow I just spent three 10-12 hour days installing this kit. I live in SoCal but am from Boston area. My XJ has been stored during the winter by previous owner however still had rusted seized brake lines. I already did a budget boost when I got the XJ IN 2008 and had installed shocks. I thought it would be easy to do the lift since done the worst parts. Well I spent half a day just trying to remove the rear shock bolts. What a fpia. Couldn't cut em cause the angles would not allow for the cutter. I ended up using iro bpe's so this problem is solved for future shock replacement. Had to run new brake lines which took a while too and then when I was bleeding the brakes the fronts were clogged. No air or juice was coming out. Somehow after much frustration cursing and a cold beer I noticed the bleeders were bleeding. It was over I was finally done. I am greatful for my friends kindness to let me use his shop to do the work. At first I was under the impression that I would help him out with the lift but when I got there he said. There's your spot, here are my tool, get going. I have much respect for mechanics who have to deal with foul weather cars as so much crap is rusted rotted seized. I'll update with bunch of pics.
