    depends on what kind of lift.. Spacers? or full coilover setup?

    and any rear lift?

    Yeah those lifts are super easy to install. They just ride like crap. And arent good for your springs. They will wear them out faster..
    But yeah, use this method to do your fronts. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vkVLBOnAifc
    And it should go smoothly..

    are they the aluminum or steel spacers that go on top of the assembly or are they the urethane spacers where you have to take the assembly apart? one way is going to be quicker than the other. one thing that i did that i havent seen mentioned yet is disconnect the sway bar link and upper ball joints on BOTH sides at the same time so you can rotate the sway bar itself up out of the way completely...it gives you a ton more room to work with...it took me about three hours with just a jack and 2 jack stands, some air tools and a couple wrenches and sockets.
