Agree with @kodiakisland regarding the lower bolt. Wasn't hard with a breaker bar.
Definitely recommend following the stage 3 video method. While the video is for spacers the removal and reinstall is the same.
Just a heads up flood for us RI people is more expensive. I found zeigler to be $500 less. Has to due with some state law about charging everyone the same and they want to charge more at the dealership, so online sales to RI are high too. I don't feel bad as I bought my bronco from them and...
I've been to Chincoteague alot for work. I like the Hampton inn on the island. It's one of the nicest Hamptons in the country.
Since I was always in a shitbox govt rental I never drove on any beaches. The island does get slammed in season. I'm partial to Island creamery instead of mr...

Now with the...
It's definitely not any worse than non Bilstein as expected. I just put mine on yesterday and did a quick ride. Initial thoughts is small bump compliance is better on bumpy side roads.
However I do need an alignment which is scheduled for this week. I'll be a better judge after more time in it.
So you left the front bolt of the LCA in?
I thought the rear was super easy. I just put the rear on jack stands and lowered the axle and both coilovers just fell out. Didn't even touch the track bar. The hardest part was the inside top bolt was a little tight to get to. A ratcheting offset...
This is an even greater value if you can get takeoffs at a reasonable price.
I was able to get takeoffs for sub $1k already fully assembled. The rears are in and only took about 1.5 hours. Now on to the fronts...
