So I have the Rubicon Express 3.5" for my 2001 XJ. It has the full leaf packs for the rear.
This is what I am thinking about doing for the install...
Lift the Jeep and put jack-stands under the frame on rear corners when I work on the rear, and the front corners when I work on the front.
Then use the hydralic jack and a second set of stands as necessary to lift, support, and lower the side of the axle that I am working on at any given time.
I would suspect that just supporting the frame with jack stands will give me enough stability and keep the body high enough to raise and lower the axles as I get the OEM packs off and the RE packs on.
Anyone with suggestions. I'll probably start tearing down tomorrow.
