Sweet man, one thing you will need to do is heat up the bottom of you cab bolts with a torch to melt away the lock-tight on the threads or else they are going to be a b**** to get off.
BTW does it say anywhere on the instructions, the size of the cab bolts that come in the kit, i need to get new ones but dont know the size. If you could help me out that would be great.

Also it took me and one of my buddies about 10 hours to complete.

Spray those bolts (hold frame to body) with some PB Blaster or something similiar at least a week before at least once a day, trust me youll be happy you did, if you don't you will experience unwanted headaches, cut bolts, cut nuts, extra cuts on hands ect........ and you always want to keep your nuts........ especially since you are suppose to reuse them with the new bolts............

well, he's right thought. PB Blaster is a godsend. spraying them the day before and even the day of and during will help. we are lucky though, being down here where we don't have to deal with road salt and stuff. apparently that just makes new bolts equal 10 year old bolts. seriously, borrow someone's car (since you messed yours up) and go to the auto parts store and pick some up.
the bed of the truck is the easiest part. you should have that done in no time. it's really not an even split on time....2 hours for the rear (it's lighter and more straight forward). the front will just take longer (4 hours) b/c of all the damn things to unbolt and move around other than the actual body mount bolts.
