It wasn't bad at all, i just put a jack under it when I took off all the differential mount bolts, and I had a friend just hold the front of the diff to help balance it while i lowered down the jack.

A helping hand definitely made it way easy.

Probably the hardest part was pulling off the side bearings since we didnt have the right puller so we had to modify the one I had to work

You have any rubbing issues at full lock? We're pretty much same height and same wheel/tire specs and I rubbed like a bitch. I raised the front like a half inch.

I'm gonna get some 15mm spacers up front and hopefully gain some extra inward clearance. Just curious if you have any rubbing issues .

I rub an INSANE amount, inner guards, fenders, front markers, everywhere, I just do my best to ignore it since I know it looks so good at this height haha. Im also thinking of adding another spacer onto my current spacer in front since the front fenders have pulled themselves atleast an extra 15mm from rubbing. Definitely should help with getting us a tad more inboard clearance. Also thinking about hammering the seam line and everything inside eventually once readily available off the shelf angle kits start popping up.

Just listen to this quick video. horrible footage but listen to the rubbing, thats pretty much all you hear.
