body lift install

What is the average install time on for a PA 3" body lift on a 2002 f-150 supercab. I hope to be getting on soon, and was just wondering how long it will take to put in. Any input is greatly appreciated.

let me rephrase that question. How long did it take for you guys with 3" body lifts to put them in?

Shhhhh.... Don't tell anybody but the BIG secret is penetrating oil, Not WD40, on all the body bolts. Start spraying them once a day about a week before you plan to install the lift. Expect a few bolts to snap and you will be fine. And spray the bumber bolts too. Makes them easier to take off. Oh, don't forget the rear seat and seat belt bolts too. One of mine didn't want to budge.

Regards
