Trick My Truck
#467
lug wrench, floor jack, jackstands, ratchet, wrenches, probably an extended "breaker bar" for some of the tighter nuts on the rear, a good tool cabinet should handle it. i don't see it takin all day tho even for a beginner, the rear will be the easier/quicker part no doubt so start there.

Atleast, especially for a first timer.
x2, i always start on the rear first when im dropping a truck. So that once its done i know that i only have to do the front real quick
But youll need a grinder/cutoff wheel definitely, noone mentioned that. And its a million times easier if you have an air chisle/hammer (or an electric one if the make it?). Also a big ole hammer, some pretty tall jack stands, and a socket set.
I did one hanger with just my grinder and a hammer and punch and it freaking sucked, took forever and i kept hitting my finger lol. I couldnt for the life of me punch out the rivets on the other side tho, so I ended up going and buying my air chisel, and im SO glad I did ha.
You can get a pretty good idea of what youll have to grind off if you look at where the front part of your leaf springs mount. The bracket is held on to the frame by 4 rivets, the heads are round and about the size of a quarter but a little thiker. The worst part is sqeezing the grinder up in there.

If you can get a measurement off the box and guesstimate the weight, just input the dimensions into any one of the Big 3's online shipping calculator

Will do, I got work in 30 minutes, so I'll have to do it when I get off.
