    Only pain in the ass part of the whole install is getting the bolts out of the UCAs. I struggled to get the inner fender bent and get the first side out, second side was pretty smooth. You'll be pretty happy.

    And on that note the springs didnt come installed on the shocks so we had to have a shop with a spring compressor out them together for us.

    You and I are on the same boat. I was installing my lift last night but the spring compressor broke on me. I just ordered the bolts for tHe UCA because no autoparts store carries them. I have to wait for tyem to come in. You might want to order them as well. Beats bending the inner fender on a perfectly good truck. Good luck.


    Nevermind me, I just saw that you did not order new UCA's
