anyone install rize 8in? (w/o a lift)

i have my lift, wheels, tires and everything i need for my 8in and i think im going to put it all together by myself. has anyone out there ever done this before or have any tips for me to make it easier? i know without a lift ill probably have to put something under the jackstands to make it high enough but i still dont think it will be all that hard. i did a 5in on my old jeep cherokee by myself in my driveway in a weekend and that was NO bolt on kit at all, i had to cut stuff up and drill plenty of holes but i got it all done in about a weekend. so if anyone's got any tips for me on this job they would def. help


thanks

i did mine it took me 2 1/2 days. your going to need a cut off wheel. i used 2 12ton jack stands its fairly easy just time consuming.

I did my Fabtech by myself on my back... Nothing hard, just takes a little time.

It sounds like you'll have all the tools you need if you did that Jeep lift so don't worry and take your time!

what kind of coil overs can you run with the rize kits? and what spring load rating are on those coil overs?
