simply put it is putting Jeep YJ springs on a Samurai.
For me, it was about more flex and a better ride... best of both worlds.

Here is a complete and detailed  step by step install with the Trail Tough YJ kit :

The bolt on setup isn't bad at all as long as you have a shop or good garage.  :)

I didn't think it was all that bad of an install for the Trail Tough kit.
I did it in my garage at the apartment I live in... no lift or special tools, but I do have a welder.
I took my time and read all the information I could find before starting the swap.
