2, but give yourself 4 hours to a whole day of cussing to get the rear leaf springs off if they are original. the front goes much easier.

Yep I have done every single one of my lifts without an impact wrench! And most of the time I was working by myself also, so it shouldn;t be a problem. Definently take dumptrucks advice though, the pb blaster will make you life a WHOLE lot easier, and I'm speaking from experience, especially on the leaf spring bolts!

Make sure you have extra rachet wrenchs and breaker bars. I went threw a few on install.

make sure you have the "just in case tools" and a big breaker bar. I snapped both leaf bolts (front ones) off inside the unibody,had to cut an access flap to remove the broken bolt and install a new washer and nut inside there and weld the flap after. It happed on one side when we did my old mans jeep.
