pro comp 6'' installment actually time to instal
I have a friend who is a mechanic and is installing my pro comp 6" stage 1 kit - trying to find anyone on here who did it themselves or by a friend and trying to see what the actual time it took them with having all the proper tools and all in place.

damn! yeah the guy doing it bought my GSX-R 600 race bike and he owes me $600 left so instead of paying me he is going to install the lift and regear the truck also for me

Thats about right. I had 2 - ProComp 6" lifts installed and both builders charged me about $1000.00 plus $100.00 for the alignment. The front and rear gear labor was $1000.00 on top of that. These prices are about the same for my new build. My new build is a 12" Rize, however parts are more expensive.

Damn dude that's ridiculous. I was quoted 600 then 100 alignment before I sold you the lift

i would agree. i have done 2 lowering kits and 1 lift kit. i think that sounds about right. but if you have never done one your self i think it might take about 10-12 hours. the front end is the pain in the A$$. the rear is easy. that should only take an hour. if you have air tools that would make a world of diffrence. good luck if you are going to do it your self. if you were in the area. i wouldnt mind giving you a hand.

also I see people with AAL with the pro comp 6" kit stage one - is that necessary even if the kit comes with a block?

I just had a Procomp 6" lift installed, it was $650 and the shop had never done a lift before. I have a skyjacker 1.5" AAL in the rear and my rear sits exactly 1/2" higher than the front. Without the AAL you will have the saggy rear, that I absolutely hate, some people seem to like it though. It reminds me of a dog dragging it's *** around the yard.
Posting pics on this site is a pain, if you want a couple to see with the AAL, email me ogarajef@luther.edu and I will send a few.

It took me and a friend 10 hours to install mine on my 150. The front wasn't hard just very time consuming. The rear took at most an hour. If you have patience and can read and follow directions well you'll be fine trying to do it yourself. For the rear I would order a 6" block that Procomp sells to replace the factory 2"+ pro comp 3" that the lift requires to use. It'll put it close to level. I wouldn't recommend having 4-5 guys install the lift. With that many people something may get left off thinking someone else done it already. Make sure to retighten everything after you have a few miles.
