Some of the things were difficuilt (like bumpers), but overall was very easy.
100x easier than my spindles.
I'd say it was about as much work as my AAL's, seriously. I used air tools for evertyhing, I use them every time I work on my truck.
I love the BL, it rides like stock, just 3" higher...nothign different.

I just put a body lift on my truck about a month ago, i don't think it was too hard. The only part that sucked was the cab bolts. They bolt down through into these threaded washer things which where a pain to hold with channel locks while someone else turned the bolt. That and i had a spray-in bedliner to cut through to get at my bed bolts. Everything else was a breeze.

I also had about 5 ppl working on my truck, and all the tools at my fingertips (including a drill press which I used for 3 nuts) so it was very very nice.

Yeah i have a small drill press that i used. The more help you have the faster it goes thats for sure.
It was just me for the most part except when i need a hand here and there, I asked my dad. I think that they are "in theory" supposed to take around 5 or 6 hours to do. Mine i think took about 10 but i took my time and didn't hurry.
