Noob Question of the Day: Front Bumpstop Install?

[ZiaMan]

Hi Everyone,
Searched for a how-to and came up with nothing. I know this is super straightforward but I will be installing away from home so need to have all the needed tools with me beforehand.

Looking for guidance on what tools are needed to remove the factory bumpstops and install the Wheelers. Any tips for installing the Wheelers? Looks like the use an Allen-headed bolt.

Thanks!

PB blaster and a big pipe wrench to remove. Install with provided allen key from Wheelers. I cut the allen wrench down a little to aid in installation with LCA installed, it will also help to jack that wheel up off the ground to give you the most roof to work.

Agree with all of this. Make sure your pipe wrench is big enough! I used one that was just BARELY big enough, and I ended up snapping the bolt while taking off the passenger side. Driver side was way easier for some reason. Ended up sanding and grinding that shit down and using some 4000lb JBWeld and it has been working great so far. Don't be dumb like me!
