The instructions they provide are easy to follow and are full of pics. If you can spin a wrench you can do it. You will need a sawzall and I highly recommend using a air compressor and impact gun. It's not hard, just a lot (a whole lot)too do.

The install time can vary by huge amounts depending on the tools/equipment you have and wrench time/ability you have. I would estimate based on reading the instructions many times, since I was going to go with this kit, it would take me roughly 6 hours by myself, without beers. I'm sure with 2 people it would be around 4 depending on the helpers skills. On the other hand we throw down some beers (no I don't mean get drunk) while wrenching and bench race/tell war stories a lot so the time increases. When the job is done we usually get pretty drunk to celebrate a job well done.

Dude. I so cannot wait!!! It's just still gonna be weird putting (what was) your lift on my truck!!


14 hours by yourself.....I would say that sounds like good time, but then again, I've never done a suspension lift before, so i really have no idea. (other then the AC lift I have, which is nothing compared to this!!)

It should be a good time. Don't worry about installing what was my lift on your truck. I ordered the Calmini 5" today and it shipped today. My kit goes on the week after yours, unless the wife changes plans for that weekend. We should knock it out in half a day or so, if you factor in beer and wasting time.

Actually we have the 3 of us plus my cousin who is my usual 2nd mechanic will more than likely be there. So no offense to you guys but I don't know your skill level nor am I doubting it. We have 2 guys that are close to opening there own professional shop plus you guys so it should actually be cake.

i'm not great but decent rat be a beer run guy (or i could work on his other mods he wants done)

I would say hammer out the lift then have some beers and work on the minor stuff, we'll see how it goes, plus my cousin isn't 100% sure if he's gonna make it but he more than likely will. It'll be a good time for sure.

Ok now I am confused. Between your random statements and The Moderator
(Drew) trying to hide his thread jacking I don't know what is going on.

MIGHT BE THERE- A.J. (my cousin) I forget his name on club Titan

I haven't seen the directions for this lift but it can't be too different from the Calmini. I did mine in 6 hours alone but that was on a lift and with my abundant amount of tools. You may be able to gauge your time from that.

Jason you did not answer Mike's question. Are you leaving the body lift on?
