Good luck hope it works out well for you. It took me 9 hours to do struts and shocks with 2” lift, upper and lower control arms. I had to cut my old clevis bolts out. I tried bolting clevis on first and sliding strut in, but way too much of an angle. After I worked on drivers side for hours, the passenger side was a lot easier now that I know what I’m doing. Sucks I gotta tear passenger side back apart this weekend since I tore the inner and outer cv boot🤦🏼‍♂️
It took me about 90 minutes each side to mount the struts (without the lift kit block on top of the strut). Finally got everything here yesterday to do the job, the lift kit took an extra day to get here. Too late to mess with it today in case I run in to any issues, plus I'm working on it outside. I just hope it goes relatively smooth. The good part is that it's a Florida vehicle and everything came apart relatively easy with no rusty bolts.The bad part is it's supposed to rain most of the day tomorrow. LOL

I just tore my passenger side all back apart to change the cv. Took me 2.5 hours to do everything plus I installed new sway bar bushings and endlinks. Hopefully this is the last time for a while I have to tear into it.

Hopefully you can get a break for awhile ! You will enjoy the links and bushings. I'll be swapping out the front and rear links and the front bushings also. They are sitting right beside me waiting to go on.
