Regarding installation... the reviews were saying a couple of hours for the both rears and possibly an hour for each front max. So probably 3.5-4 hours. Up here that's a $350-$400. One last thought, one of the reviews asked the question which is the best way to go after hearing so much about the Quick Lifts vs. going with Fox 2.0's. The response from Stage3 was that the Quick Lifts rears can be a pain dialing in if you are going on and off road on a regular basis. If not using off road the response was "they should be ok". Hoped for better than that. Personally I just want a 2" level that has a ride equal to or better than factory and will not ruin my front end components. The Fox 2.0 set up is double the cost of the Quick Lifts.
I got a little more than 2 inches on install and once they settle I am thinking 2 will be the minimum. Been on the truck about 3 weeks now so I will probably have a better idea in another month or so.

If you can install a spacer you can install these struts. Pretty much the same thing. I did mine in my driveway. Took me around 4 hours total time for front struts and rear shocks. I was not in a hurry and took my time. I could probably knock an hour off if I really worked. I would think a shop with a lift and air tools could do it in 3 hours or less.

I would not pay a shop to do the rears. Simply jack up the rear slightly and bolt on/bolt off. 30 minutes or less and your done.

All four adjust easily and simply by turning the adjustment **** by hand. I can lay on the ground and reach each **** on mine without really being under the truck (I am 6'3 so my arms may be longer than average).

Any advice?

Thanks!
That's the downfall of the mobile app and mobile website. I can't see sigs, I assume probably the same reason the question was asked.

Great setup anyhow and thanks for the info. Are you planning on running spacers at all? Do you think they will cause issues ?

Lol yeah that's true about the mobile version. As for spacers, no, I have no intention of getting them. They may cause issues with rubbing but I'm only guessing from what I've read.
