bump?

 

IF you have the tools and atleast alittle bit mechanically inclined and have a good overview of parts on the truck and how it works you all should def be able to do it. Id just make sure you read over all the directions, id leave the entire weekend to do it just to make sure you don't run out of time, and just make sure you all have the right tools and be ready to improvise with different tools if necessary.

Somethings that are easy to me could be really hard to others, but like I said, have the right tools, enough time, and take your time and go slow, theres no reason why you cant do it. The only person that can truly answer that is you, I feel like if you dont have any tools and have no knowledge AND you dont try to learn than you probably shouldn't even be owning the truck and be lifting it BUT I understand that not everyone has tons of knowledge about vehicles, the money for all the tools, or have the time to do all their own work, etc.

IMO its something that a guy with a few friends should be able to accomplish especially when your talking about saving a grand on the install.

Hope it all goes good, goodluck.

 

I did mine in a weekend. as long as you take your time and read each step closely you will be fine. figure out what tools you need first to make sure you have them all.
Im no mechanic, but i can figure stuff out. The drop line brackets that procomp gave me kinda stumbled me up for some reason. THey dont really tell you much about that you just have to figure that part out.....so that was the only part that was tricky to me. Everything else is straight forward by the directions.
I put on a stage II btw. for sure have an extra set of hands and a couple floor jacks.jack stands

 

ok guys thanks for the input i have access to a garage on post that has all the stuff i'll need. i think im go for it, if i cant get the guy to come down a lil

 

You can do it. It's all bolt on stuff. You'll have to cut some of the frame off, but if you have a sawzall or cutoff wheel then it will be easy to cut. Just follow the directions in order and you'll be fine. But allow a lot longer than you think it will take to put it on. You'll need at least a whole day to put it on. Probably 2 days
