Is it possible to do a 3" P.A. lift at home?

What would be needed to do a body lift yourself, instead of taking it to a shop? I think I'm going to go with the 3 inch Performance Accessory Lift.

well you can do it with handtools, so you need sockets and extension, I suggest a breaker bar for the tough bolts. Your gonna need a jack and a couple of blocks of wood, air tools are nice, but you can definatly do it with just basic hand tools

Don't forget the torx bit for the bed bolts. You most likely will be drilling out the bolt in the rad mount. A lot of penetrating oil to loosen the cab and bed bolts. Start to apply it to the bolts about a week before starting.
