Question Tools for instaliation?

Looking to get the Fabtech 6" Lift for a 2004 FX4
I tryed looking at the Fabtech website, but the link wont open for the instructions. So, i was wondering if you know EVERY tool that i will need for installation. Just wanna make sure i have everything and i dont wanna forget something when it comes down to doing the lift. Thanks Guys.

It never fails - I get into the last 10% of finishing something and realize I missing some tool and have to make a run to the store - drives me crazy

Just an idea, but if Fabtech's website is not working try Rancho, Pro-Comp, RCD, etc... and check out what tools they require for installation. Almost all the kits are virtually the same.

yeah, its not a bad lift to install.... it took me a total of about 11 hours, and that was with one helper the whole time, and another about 1/2 the time. it is really straight forward...... be sure to post some updates !!!
