Default Installing a 2" ReadyLift leveling kit on 15 F150

I have a few questions regarding the installation of a Readylift leveling kit on our new 2015 F150. I was told these are good kits for these's trucks, as they don't need any mods to truck to install. This will be my first leveling kit installation, but I feel I'm up to it...I've goggled a few installs on other 2015 F150s and they require metric wreches up to 30mm? But going by the instructions that came with the kit, I need nothing bigger then a 21mm for the tie rod end nuts. Has anyone installed these kits before? Any info would be appreciated.
cheers.

That's right, mostly 18mm and 21mm. You should be fine watching youtube videos. I just did mine. Just make sure you have a good long pry bar. And you will need to hammer out the lower strut studs once the strut is removed. Otherwise, I have no idea how you would get the thing back together. Just a side note, the job totally sucks. I never want to do it again.

I'm hoping it's not that bad...i don't wanna freeze my *** off. Weather up here is getting cold, and my truck only fits about 3/4 of the way into my heated garage..I've been training as a Millwright for a few years now..hope my Industrial experience helps in this one.

I did mine 2 weeks ago with my truck 1/4 way in the garage. (Ontario) Took me almost 1.5 hours to do the right side. and maybe 1/2 hour for the left. Had it figured out.

Got her done today, love the look. Had a few small issues, but nothing a little swearing couldn't fix. Lol Next news tires and rims, getting them mounted and installed this week!
