Wasn't bad. Most of the work is removing the old stuff, my Jeep has approx. 21,000 so things hadn't rusted in.
If you'd been on the fence about buying this system "Just Do It" I'm not a rep. just a wheeler who like's it tight, done right. If I'd seen a post like this a year ago I'd been sold then. This system or what is does is almost as good or a necessity as the SYE & shaft is to the rear diff., brings you back to a stock reference, or very close (wished I'd had stock pic's). I have a Rubicon Express 4.5" lift, the Currie kit is for a 2 to 6" lifted vehicles.
If a picture tell a thousand words...
Before Currie
Stock draglink with a Skyjacker HD tie-rod
After Currie install, look at the tie-rod angle with the draglink & the diff. Better!

Right/Pass. side closer view
Wheel max turned, clearance good but close. I may put an angle zerk on this joint before it does me in.
Yeah it's good! My stock stuff use to hit here no matter what I did (dif. angles...) This is good!!!
Definitly one of the better mod one can do to a lifted Jeep.
Brian4.2, you'll know what I mean soon. Soak you rod ends with what ever as long as possible. I used Jerry's advice and just smacked the ends squarely a few time and they popped off except for the pitman end, had to use the pickle fork, goodbye boot. After all that all cleaned up and ready to install it was done that quick. I took my time but 2 hours is generous, I'm just very slow.
I'm still running 31"s & 3:73, so when it's time to upgrade I'm good to go.
Confidence, priceless, B&T TJ
