Yeah, it wasn‘t fun. I did end up getting it with the offset wrenches I bought but it still wasn’t simple. Maybe it would of been easier with the suspension at full droop but I didn’t want to get out the jack and just did it while the Jeep was on the ground.
An impact will definitely help to get the bolts run down and started but you’re going to want to complete final torque with a torque wrench. Make sure you have something to use as a backup wrench too. Some of the bolts will be difficult to get to with an impact gun unless you have a stubby one or some impact swivels, or both.
Your caster is probably a little high. Try driving in 4WD down the road and you’ll likely get a vibration around 45MPH due to the pinion angle unless you’ve changed drive lines. I miscalculated my caster and got a vibration in the drive line and I was about 8 degrees. I have my caster at just over 6 degrees on both my gladiators and my wrangler and it seems to handle well. Just my experience and your may work perfectly with more caster.I think things have settled in nicely, it seems to be driving good. I thought I would include the alignment numbers. I questioned whether they thought the caster was too high, I could always switch to a different hole. They said they would probably leave it alone. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I’m still trying to figure out the pressures on my KO2’s as well. Always something.
Have any pics of your ride? Running 35 KO’s also and wondering what it will look like after the lift. Hopefully adding my front bumper and winch this coming week while I’m off. Then the lift comes next. Probably have a shop do it for me due to work schedule and lack of time.
