im 17, with a lift and power tools I did my whole lift (Coils, shocks, UCA's, 3 Leaf AAL) in an hour and a half, struts were not assembled.

Check out youtube and look at the two video series that Low Range Off Road put out. It explains everything you need to do including tools for each step and torque values.

I have done quite a few lift installs many years ago. I am about to put an OME kit on my 2018 Tacoma and after looking at the steps and watching the video, if it takes me more than 3 hours by myself without a lift in my driveway I will seriously consider whether I should ever be allowed to touch a wrench again. Scale of 1-10 on the lift-install-difficulty scale: Tacoma is about a 2.

These vids are helpful. Having a lift and the proper tools should make the install pretty easy ...but it would be nice to have a second set of hands to position the leaf pack to the holes for the bolts.
