quite easy if you dont rush it! just take a full saturday off and get 2 or 3 buddies to help you out and take your time and you should do fine. just spray the bolts with wd-40 or somthing the day before, i broke two torx heads and two bolts trying to take 2 bolts out of the bed....wow that was quite the ryme lol and just make sure no cables or stuff get caught up or really tight.

Body lift is too easy. I've done 3 now though. Recently done kevins, it was super easy.

Spindles are sooo easy. I didn't have any of the right tools and i spent 12hrs. I took 2 breaks and whatched a football game inbetween. Lots of cursing and bloody nuckles.

At the rate I"ma t now, 2hrs total and I could have it done. Air tools though...

Leave about 7+ hours for you first body lift. and power tools and a tourch greatly reduce your time
