Is it worth having 4WP install this lift in my 2013 jku or is it something a guy with some limited mechanical skills can do correctly? Anyone installed one? I would love to save the money and learn to do it but don't want to bite off too much. Install would include lift with lower arms, front and rear brake lines, shocks, sway bar disconnects, wheel spacers and stock wheels back on.

Appreciate the input guys and look forward to meeting some of you soon

Thanks

Jeff

So I bit the bullet and installed it myself. It was pretty cool to get into it that far but now I have a problem when backing out of my driveway onto the street off the rolling curb. If I crawl off it no prob but if I roll off with some speed I hear and feel a clunk in the rear end. I have rechecked torque on everything, checked rear spring seats, see nothing coming into contact and am lost as to what it can be

Any ideas

I know it's been a while but did you originally torque everything down while jacked up or with the vehicle on the ground? Front what I've read and seen on Powerblock you have to torque everything down once it's on the ground or you will tear up the control arms and bushings.
