That ain't bad. I have a Jeep that I can only fit in my garage with a full tank of gas. Anything less, it scrapes the top.

If it is a 2wd then your pretty much set with some basic hand tools and a pry bar (given you take the springs to get compressed, or your using that huge spacer they use now). But with a 4x4 it becomes a bit more complicated because of grinding and welding. Either way if you can get the springs done its not rocket science.
