i will tell you what i did. it only took 30mins on one side, but the other took longer b/c it was the first side.

1- after getting wheel and tire off. jack up the truck and put a jackstand under it.

2 - undo the brake calipers and tie them up with a wire.

3 - put the jack under the lower control arm and jack it up to put tension on the coil spring.

4 - undo the tie rods, sway bar, and upper control arms off of the spindle.

5 - lower the jack easily and carefully until all tension is off of the coil spring.

6 - put in the spacer and repeat all steps in reverse order.

alos you might have to take out the shock, you might not. i did it anyway b/c i was replacing them.

hope this helps you. guys if i left anything out please put it in.
