How long did your WJ 4" lift take (short arms)
just curious... i'm lucky enough that my buddy owns his own shop, and we will be using his lift saturday. Zone says 4hrs in the instructions, i'm thinking thats is out of line, maybe more like 5-6

If you know what you're doing with a lift and air tools you should be able to knock it out in 4 hours. You're a lucky SOB to have access to the lift!

My BDS took about 5 hrs. But It was totally worth the wait!
I had a shop do mine cause I don't have to room. I dropped it off in the morning and they had it back to me that night.

My 6 inch RC lift took me about 15 hours over my Christmas break. I had no air tools, no concrete, no help, and no lights. I did everything in my dirt driveway using cement blocks and jackstands. Was a very nipply mid 20s the whole time. Quite a horrible experience but god was it worth it!!!!!

Since when does RC make a 6in WJ lift? or did you add a BB to their 4in kit?
