    Could be challenging if you don't have any experience. The harder part would be installing the front. You would need a spring compressor which you can rent. The back is a piece of cake

    Im guessing it would take close to 2 hrs? But im not 100% sure. So it would depend on how much your mechanic charges per hour

    wow great price!!!! just paid a guy from here 150 for this
    and 30 bucks for shipping. :(


    as for the guys asking about the ride I put it on my 2011 sport dbl cab 4x4 and it rides
    perfectly. feels slightly stiffer, which is nice. no complaints at all.

    For the money I had to spend at the time (very little), yes, I was happy with it.

    Keep in mind I don't really do any off-roading, so flex wasn't important to me, I just wanted some lift.

    Now that I'm older & have more disposable income, I'm running the TOYTEC coilovers - same height, but rides a bit smoother.
    The RevTek was a stepping stone for me. It served it's purpose & I've moved on. I do not regret either of my choices.

    Haven't heard anything about the leafs wearing out because of this.

    add it to my gallery for you.
