tell me, is a lift horrible to install myself?

Yes and yes. Go for it. You may need to borrow/buy tools but the experience is worth it.

Cool, I love new tools. It's amazing how you can have three of every tool and still need something new I'm sure I'll have some help, but I'm looking forward to doing more than just laying under the beastie and trying to figure out what all the parts are.

its a pretty easy install. but it really depends on what lift! if its a long arm then i doubt you can do it. but if its a BB then its pretty easy. you just need a floor jack, jackstands, some hand tools, and a spring compressor would help.

Ah the voice of experience.

It suffers from 25 years of tool-junkyitus. I learned from the biggest tool junky out there. When my pops and I built my pottery studio, he decided we needed not one, not two, but three different nail guns, and I concurred. I'm just as bad. If I need to fix something, there must be a tool I need to buy.

get some water, I'll get the welder & show you how

when you sain I knew everything, it reminded me of a scene in that movie. You should watch it though. It's way old, but it's funny.

Tiny, when I move to SoCal I'll help you with the lift...I've been very successful with IKEA instructions. They can't be much different than mods on our Jeeps. ...
