Cool How hard to install RCD 6" Lift?

Im no mechanic, but I was wondering if anyone has installed it themselves. How hard was it, what tools do you need, etc. The guy at the lift place told me I shouldn't attempt it but who knows. Thanks.

Cool

Where did you get yours installed? I need to find a place in the Houston area that can give me a decent price.

BlownF150- what tires/wheels are you running? What size blocks do you have in the back? Thanks.

A 2wd lift is so easy, why would you pay someone to do it? I didn't even have a problem with the 4x4 lift, it just took awhile. I put a lift on my 2wd, new upper a arms and new coils and shocks in about 2 hours... But blocks on the rear in about 1/2 hour.

I don't mean to sound like an idiot, but what is "RCD" that everyone keeps talking about?
