Awsome info! Thank you for taking the time to type it out.
Having said that...
Bottom line, if you're confident with a wrench (and have the right wrenches etc.) then you can do this job. You can't really screw it up, 'cept for possibly putting parts in the wrong places (Note: this is where Mopar instructions have errors)
- Have a buddy type person help, sometimes a second pair of hands is very helpful
- Yes, have two jacks for the job. And jack stands.
- Invest in your own skills and tool collection, don't pay other people to do so
- Installing a lift kit is straight forward (My Mopar lift was my first install) but can be time consuming. Especially when holes don't line up (I'm looking at you LCAs) and torquing everything to spec.
- As others have said, follow the written instructions (Mopar cartoon instructions are full of errors, keep this in mind) and you'll be fine.
- End-link bolts top/bottom are the same diameter but different thread pitches. This might save you a few minutes. (iirc) Put the nuts back on the bolts to keep track while they're out.
- The front bump stops are kind of a bitch to install. Have some flex-head wrenches/ratchets for this. A strap-wrench helps too. (this is Mopar lift specific advice)
