After doing my Jeep I bought a good impact to help do a buddies Jeep. It’s was great for getting stuff off but it’s not great for accurately torquing Nuts back on. Luckily he had a JK and 190 ft lbs is not a concern

Impact and a 24mm wrench. Gets the job done. I bought an $80 impact between doing my first and second lifts and that was money well spent.
you use an impact to torque it back on? How do you know you are at the correct ft. lbs.? I do use my impact to get it most of the way, but that doesn't make 190 ft. lbs. any easier.

That is without a doubt the worst part lol
100% agreement. The worst part of this was the 190lbs for the 4 LCA bolts. I ended up having the shop torque them when I had the alignment done.

I did the lift myself. Everything else but the LCA bolt torque was simple and straight forward.
