What trim level did you start with?
I started with a Sport S and it seemed like I got more than 2" after the install. And like you I had to swap out the OE track bar for an adjustable track bar.

So far Im getting a price of $1495 for the kit (directly from Gupton) waiting on the installation quote. I will report back when I get it.

Willys trim. The two other sport or Willys people I know locally who did the lift also needed track bars and relocation brackets or LCAs. I can say that I didn't notice any change with the caster adjustment, but it was well out of spec with the LCAs from the lift kit. I still feel like MOPAR should be held accountable for the negative aspects of the lift kit as it's billed as a "complete dealer installed option". I'd bet good money the vast majority of people get too much lift for the LCAs in the kit and it needs an adjustable track bar.

Can these coupons just be printed off and used? Or where did you get them? As a member of Midwest [Deleted as Spam], I get a discount at local dealer here in Bridgeton, MO. But I'm all about saving a buck or two

I spent about 8 or so hours over two days. Totally doable in your driveway.How was the install? I used to have classic muscle cars. I have a 3 ton floor jack, some beefy 2 ton jackstands..air tools...is this something that can be done in the garage? I like to do this work
I used my floor jack, two jack stands, and misc. hand tools.
Torque wrench is needed.
Some just use “bubba tight”, but torque wrench is necessary IMO.

I saw them on South County Auto's website and took a screen shot of them. I went to Dave Taylor for all the products/services and showed them my phone.
I used these on the lift, steering stabilizer, Mopar Steel bumper and labor. Make sure you use the 15% coupon separately for each item, because there is a max of $200 off with it.

Look on your local Jeep dealer website under service & parts for 15% off accessories coupon then print it, not all dealer websites show it, also check the Mopar.com website and type coupons in the search bar then scroll down and print it. I just used one from the dealer site for Rock Rails & one from the Mopar site for 15% off the 2" lift kit. I negotiate for free install during the purchase and on another Jeep paid $700 that included headlight & front end alignment.Can these coupons just be printed off and used? Or where did you get them?

Did you use these coupons at South County Auto or at a different dealership ? Just wondering if these are MOPAR wide or just a promotion for SCA...?

As someone else said, i also spent about 8 hours over 2 days mostly cause I had never done it. As long as you have a beefy torque wrench that lets you crank the lower arms to 190lbft the rest of the tools you listed will get the job done. Couple of tips:
1) Lift it more than you expect in the rear, those springs are long
2) Get a pry bar or coil spring compressor it makes life waaay easier
3) Loosen the joints as they recommend, the stock arms bind like crazy and you will definitely want to torque on the ground
