all i changed out was the front coils, the u bolts and the shackles...the only thing i can think of that i would need are my stock shackles bc the kit comes with everything else such as the coils and u bolts... right?

no problem, now if you bought some this would be a good time to powdercoat them if you wanted, add some color to the suspension.

depends on how good ya are, usually a good day with hand tools but you don't work straight thru obviously. 2wd's are a tad quicker, me and another guy did a lift in 5 hrs but it was a chevy, it's not hard to do on your own IMO, but i put many lifts on in my day already
