    3 inch Icon lift with UCA’s
    UCA’s are pretty straightforward not a hard job at all, you will need duckbill vice grips to make life easier to bend back pinch welds slightly

    It's a pretty easy job. The only difficult part I found was getting the long bolt that attaches the arm to the frame out. It's blocked by the body/wheel well sheet metal, so you might need to bust out some pliers like @Greeves77 mentioned.

    It's not that easy. Sometimes the long bolt can be a real PITA to remove. If you aren't mechanically inclined, it's not an easy job.
