    Depending on how long you're willing to wait, I know @MJonaGS32 is planning one this or next month. I'd offer but I don't have much space at my place.

    There's a bunch of things you can do between now and when you do the install.

    This is all I can think of for now....
    Mount the coils on the shocks.
    Hose down all the bolts with penetrating oil a couple times per week.

    Also, are you going to extend the rear brake line for your Dakars?

    Coils are already mounted to the shock, extended brakline is ordered just waiting on shipping.

    I'll spray the bolts but bring my grinder in case

    I just did this to my truck last year. I'd be glad to help. However, I also don't have real estate to use.

    I did this to my first gen in march. I'm willing to help as well. It's going to take some time. I think took us like 8 hours at a mod day. I'd also bring an extractor kit in case bolts break.

    Just to knock out your truck, that's plenty of space. How flat is it?

    Should be good then. Metric wrenchs, metric sockets(both regular and deep), breaker bar, torque wrench, upper ball joint tool kit(I rented it from oreillys), floor jack and jack stands, big ass hammer, grinder and other misc tool(vise grips, pliers). I think that's most of it. Do you have most or all that?

    A few things
    Check out harbor freight this weekend. They have 25% off coupons and their floor jacks are decent.

    You may want to consider a line wrench for the brake lines.

    Thinking I can get away with out it. Only replacing one line at the moment. I'll do some research and think on it,thanks for the input!

    Post research: I'll be picking up a line wrench.

    the info I gathered, line wrenches help by not rounding out corners, and can provide better torque.
