There's not a lot involved with it. http://www.yuccaman.com/jeep/jeeplift.html Effectively that says
Carefully remove the four nuts holding the u-bolts and lower the axle on one side. The spring clips will hold the spring pack together, but will need to be removed to separate the pack and insert the AAL. Removed spring clips also allow more flex, so this had additional, hidden benefits. We had to use two large c-clamps to squeeze the spring pack back together. DO NOT try to use the seriously long centering pins supplied by RE to clamp the pack together. You WILL strip them if you do. Trust me on this...
Only do one side at a time, this lets the other side keep the axle in place.
