    The lift is pretty easy install. The "hardest" part is just compressing the new Coil Springs. Get a good set of coil spring compressors. Make sure you have all the mounting hardware.

    I have the same lift. Took me 4-5 Hrs install. I was missing a few parts and had to find them.

    Also pickup a set of shock boots from Checker. 10 bucks i think.

    You will also need new UCA to correct your alignment.

    Any more questions you can shoot me a PM. Or if your in AZ i can help you out

    If I put the kit on, can it go back to stock?
    It depends on the vehicles suspension type. All GM independent front suspension lift applications require cutting of the lower differential mount and bump and extension stops and would require considerable work to return to stock. The 02-05 Dodge 1500 and 96-04 Tacoma kits also require cutting that would not allow a graceful return to stock. Jeeps, 73-91 GM straight axle trucks, Ford Super Duty’s, 94-01 Dodge 1500 and 94-04 Dodge 2500/3500 can be returned to stock.

    OP has a 2011, different kits. The Procomp 6" lift I believe is the one that requires cutting.

    I have this lift on my '09 DCSB TRD Sport. Running 285s .I love it. No cutting was required but they had to remove my front mudflaps due to rubbing.
