    If you get this complete coilover setup, it's VERY easy to install! I don't have much mechanical expertise at all and I installed mine... Took me a few hours, but not hard - especially with all the help from TW! And no specialty tools are needed - just a jack, jackstands, sockets (metric) and a torque wrench...

    One thing to be aware of though... install this lift yourself and your gonna get hooked on "wrenching" your truck (as silverback would say)... :)

    I would think that experienced mechanics with the proper tools, lifts, etc... Could do it in 2-3 hours (fronts - not rear). But, you're paying a premium for their experience, so they'll probably still charge you $200+ (I would think). You might try to find someone willing to do it after hours or something for cash - that would probably be cheaper. Or, spend $100 on gas and drive to Arizona and let Chris4x4 do it!

    But if you get that fully assembled coilover, it's really just as simple as unbolting the factory coil/strut assembly and bolting the new one back on. If you replace the UCAs at the same time, it's even easier to get them in/out, but you gotta add some time to replace them too...
