Whatever you decide to get will be a bolt-on suspension kit so there’s not to much room for error but people still find a way to mess it up. If you do take it to a shop I would recommend getting a torque wrench (if you don’t have one) and going over every bolt and nut that was involved in the install. This would give you a peace of mind, from what I can recall there should be a total of ~34 bolts/nuts that have to be removed to install all the suspension so it’s not that much. There’s a few more things to check for and we can let you know what to look for once the install is done.

you can also take the front coil-overs to a shop with a spring compressor to set the correct preload for the ride height you want and then do the install yourself . Look on YouTube for a few install videos they might give the confidence to tackle the job, that’s how I started

Man you are giving me all kinds of confidence to try this myself. Definitely going to start watching some videos of others doing it. Might help me decide to give it a shot! I have the tools with the exception of the spring compressor. I am a bit of a novice to working on the truck, but everything I have put on so far has been fine and no issues at all. This ups the complexity for me a bit.

Again man I really appreciate you taking the time to school me on some of the basics. Hard to find people now in days who are willing to help. Thank you!

I was charged 4.5 hours of labour to install a 3/2 kit. Plus alignment. Came to $660 Canadian. New front struts, UCA’s diff drop. And rear blocks.

Just buy the fronts with the spring assembled. It’s not that hard. The hardest part is probably the UCA bolt disassembly
