Nice! I bought the hellbentsteel 2.5 for my 04 XLT. You have to torque a bolt up to 351 pounds and the one tool for that was $200 around here so i am having a shop install mine haha.

Hm, that's interesting. If you don't mind me asking, how much is your shop charging you?

254 for the installation. I don't have any impact gun or those air tools so if I was to buy them all it would have been more then the shop fee.

I know, I needed a torque wrench that would torque one of the bolts up too 351 pounds.

you need an alignment after you put the leveling kit on, so you can ask the shop doing the alignment to tighten to it to the right specs.

Got the tow mirrors on! Pretty stoked about this mod. Leveling kit came in too, not sure when I'll have time to install it though. I'll get some better pictures tomorrow.
