    Looks good! I'm curious at how difficult these are to install yourself. I was thinking about getting a stage 2 but I have no experience or mechanical skills. Are they reletivaly easy to install or should I just take it to a dealer. Thanks

    I had the rear shocks done in about 10-15 mins on our lift and the front may take me 30-45 mins.

    Was wondering about that too until I looked at acorn nuts. They dont go all the way through either and these ar long shank opened ends. They are grabbing about 14 threads. About the same as an acorn does.

    The rears are easy since you don't even need to take off the rear wheels. The fronts can be a bitch:D

    Picked up a 48" HiLift jack today and mounted it to my bed rail. While I was reading the instructions, I learned it could be used for winching, like a come-along. Has anyone used a HiLift as a winch? How well did it work? It would be convenient to use this as a winch until I get a real one; otherwise, I'll buy a real come-along.
