well i know people had em i was wondering if anyone put one on the truck themselves and how hard and how long it took.

 

It took me about 15 hrs working by my self. They are not that difficult to put on tech wise. There is some things that can be aggravating like the bed bolts. I say go for it. I have some pics in my gallery, just click the little camera. BtW Wandell is very helpful about all this stuff and I would check out jkoo7 gallery also. He has got some pics of the install too. Good Luck

 

I have one too that me and my dad put on myself. They arent really that hard. You have instructions to help you along the way. It took probably a full day for us to put one on. We started late one night and then came back in the morning and finished it up but it took us until about 8 or so that night to finish it.

 

honestly, they're not too hard to put on, just time consuming. the hardest part is probably getting the stock hardware out. just make sure you have everything you'll need before you start, and that you understand the instructions thoroughly. you'll need a t-47 bit for the bed bolts and a t-50 for the back seat bolts.

 

It took me an entire weekend to install mine, but I was working by myself most of the time. Also, start soaking the body mount bolts with penetrating oil a week or so before you install the lift.

 

ok cool so you do have to take the seats out to get to the mounts cool thanks all!

 

if your goona wheel it any at all I would spring for a suspension lift

 

I put mine on myself, Did it at work in about 4 hours or so. Helps to have all the right tools and air and a lift. You can do both sides at the same time

I didn't have to remove the seats on my Supercrew. Not sure about regular cabs or Supercabs.

 

I had to pull the backseats on my 00 Scab, not on the 03 Screw though. You'll more than likely have to pull yours.

 

Took the guys at my shop about 12 hours to do, had to pull the seats out in my scab. It took so long cuz the bed bolts were a bitch to get off. Pics in my gallery
