Just got done putting the RCD on my 2wd. Love the lift. Great quality. Not the same as you 4x4 guys obviously, but the company does quality machining.

Two days to install the lift? They should be able to knock it out in an afternoon. Hell I did mine (although a little less involved) in just about 5 hours with a friend and some cold refreshments.

Sorry, I haven't had any time to take pics really. I'll try to get some though. I bought mine from NTW as well. They have some killer deals. Shipping was very fast. I think I ordered mine on Friday and received it the following Wednesday.

There's no way that lift (the 4x4) could be finished in an afternoon. It is much more involved than the 2wd system. While I did mine by myself, I still had air tools and all the equipment I needed. I worked the first day from 2 PM till 3:30 AM, then the next day from 10 AM until 1:30 AM. With no breaks. That's somewhere around 28 hours . The time would have been cut way down with an extra person though. Most professional shops take a day and a half for these lifts

Well I had the convenience of using a shop lift too, because my buddy works at a race shop and his boss was nice enough to let us use it. Makes life much easier. In one night starting at about 5PM We installed my RCD lift, and a new head unit with one guy working on the head unit, and me working on one side of the truck and my buddy on the other, and we were done and buttoned up by 10pm.
