I have installed 2 on flaresides(not sure if it makes a difference) and not used any of the gas filler hose extension stuff, just pick the bed up its got slack.
Penatrating oil on the body mount bolt, give them a few shots every day for a week before the install. I took a torch to them to get them loose.

How many tools do you have?
Some bigger tools that you need are an 18mm socket, 19mm socket, T55 bit, channel locks, and a few more smaller sockets.
Air tools help a LOT with the process.
Give yourself pleanty on time. The back bumper has never went smooth on all 3 bodly lifts that i have put on. The brackets that come with the P/A suck.
Make sure to do a parts check before you start to make sure you have all the parts that come with the lift (left and right front bumper brackets) They screwed up on bills kit, it came with 2 left brackets.
and spray down all your body polts with penetrating oil starting about a week in advance. It will make it so much easier, trust me.

did your lift come with instructions?? They are very detailed on what to look for and loosen.
you dont have to extend any of these lines, just have to unclip them from the frame and watch them very carefully as you lift each side.
off the top of my head i no you have to watch the abs lines.
also there are a few ground that have to be taken off and added "extender" on to them.
again if you have your direction, they will tell you everything.
and read through them before you start.

not sure what year truck you have....
The only mods i had to do was
-lower the fan shroud using the supplied brackets
-relocate a stock bracket for the parking brake higher up on the frame
-use a supplied bracket to relocate a ground strap
-we drilled a new hole in the front bumper brackets as the pre-drilled holes did not move the bumper up as close as i would of liked
-i used the steering extension but just about everyone i know with older rangers hasn't and none of us have problems
taking our time only took a day however, you should be fine
