One more direction say to raise vehicle completely on stands but u can do fron on stands do all the work lower it then tighten all bolts so its tightend right. Would that work then do the same with rear? Or does it all have to be done at once?

I did my rear first, then did my front. You don't have to lift the whole vehicle at once

Also if your not gonna be doing any hardcore wheeling is it necessary to have the front skid plate?

I've never had a front skid plate on any xj I've owned, and I've done some wild wheeling

Or a bigger hammer. That side is always a pain. Try heating it too.
