I do not think there are any problems with your install that would be different than other kits.
Broken bolts maybe.
Brake lines too short, maybe.
Did the kit come with the drop pitman arm?
Might be issues there but many folks here do not use one.

one important procedure for the install...

leave the spring bolts and shackle bolts LOOSE until you lower the Jeep back to the ground.

have a few guys bounce the front and rear to somewhat 'settle' the springs.. then torque the spring bolts and shackle bolts to specific torque value.

This is done to eliminate a false lift. If you tighten it all up with the suspension hanging on the lift, it will be a false lift (too high) and stiff ride.

thank you very much for your suggestion!!
and another thing: how much is the torque value for the spring bolts and shackle bolts?
becose in the kit there wasen't the instruction manual..
