Just follow the directions included. I did not have to take my 4x4 actuator out, nor did I need the front bumper brackets or fuel filler hose. After you take the passenger side body bolts out and loosen the drivers side, go ahead and take the bolt and bushing out of the mount above the axle in the rear wheel well(trust me you'll thank me, its a pain if you're a big guy lol). On my kit the oil filter relocation bracket holes needed to be drilled out so the provided bolts would fit. Whew, I think thats all, oh yeah and it don't matter how well you think you have it cleaned under there, just remember your safety glasses cause that clay mud gets in everything When you do yours if you have any questions pm me and I'll do my best to help

Its a Performance Accessories 2" lift. The only thing altered was where I had to cut the back bumper so it would clear the frame rails.

I have the PA 2" and the only problems I had was the OE middle body mount bolts on both sides broke (even after a weeks soak with 1 1/2 cans of PB Blaster), which made it a major PITA.

Lookin good, welcome to the lifted club, lol. But yeah I hear ya on the addicting part. In the last year mines had 22 inch wire wheels, lowered 3 inches, and now in it's lifted stage. Now do what I did, find a stock blazer, park next to it and smile ha ha.
