I saw in somebody elses thread that they should go ahead and order bushings, shocks, and possibly wheel bearings before they start their lift. To me, wheel bearings aren't impossible, I'll just do them when I need to. Not going to take the time and get covered in grease while I'm putting the lift on anyways. Maybe if I had it apart waiting on the lift but I didn't.

Bushings were a definite yes. I should have had those ordered for sure. Everyone one of mine was out, and I'm sure if they hadn't been, I would have needed at least a couple. those are going to be more of a pain to replace than the shocks because of getting the springs out of the way. Would have been easier to just have them ready. plus for the cost of bushings, you're not out anything to have them on the shelf for when they do go out. VS shocks that are ~$50 sitting around or being returned.


shocks don't look impossible - as long as they compress easy enough by hand I should be able to run the two nuts off and replace them. Worst part seems to be getting to the top stud but we will manage. It is crazy how much nicer it is to slide under my cart now with the lift and big tires
