Default Header Install

Anyone tackled the install of aftermarket headers?

If so, how long did it take and what advice do you have?

dont buy shorty headers,just a waste of money.trucks have alot more room to work with than most cars so shouldnt be a big deal.my lightning was simple and i dont think it would be much differant on a 09.do it on a lift,get a good set to start with,as in kooks,and you will be fine.
