It's rewarding to do work on your own Jeep Grand Cherokee WK and installing an OME 2" HD Lift Kit & JBA Upper A-Arm can be one of the most rewarding things you can do. I hope my comprehensive DIY instructions can give you the confidence needed to install your own lift kit.

Spring Compressors can be rented from AutoZone, but I highly recommend using a Branick wall unit in its place. Spring Compressors like the ones used in this video can snap under load. Always use eye protection. Branick 7600 Strut Spring Compressor - https://tinyurl.com/y7h8j48s

I also highly recommend that you get an alignment after installation. I waited about 500 miles in order to let the new suspension settle into place.
