fabtech 6"- installing myself

Ive rounded up a couple buds to help me install my suspension lift(6" fabtech) when i get it. Wondering if it is worth the time and effort to do it or if we should leave it to the experts. Between all of us we have the know how and tools to do it. What do yall think? Also wondering if any of yall have installed suspension lifts and what you thought of the whole process. How difficult did u think it was? Thanks.

What the hell are you waiting for??? Go get a couple of cases and a bottle of jack. If you start now you could be finished by 3-4 and than take it for a nice test ride. Seriously DIY. Its only suspension son not rocket science

Seriously for a guy that has the tools but not much no how on suspension but is decent at reading directions whats the hardest part of the Fabtech install cause id be ready to go now and pay cash money for a lift but the install cost was gonna get me.

Alloutoffroad in richmond quoted me $2500.00 installed. That's buying the lift through them, alignment included. I think I'm going to leave it to the pros..
