Looks real good and I know what you mean about throwing wrenches and cuss words lol I literally just finished my body lift also and what a project it was!! I understand why shops were asking for 900 plus to install them! Truck looks BA!

thanks I wound up grinding all bed bolts out if it, busted 4 torx bits, and after being finished I tried putting the fuel filler extension hose on after bolting the bed back down and had to undo it luckily my wife is little and could squeeze between tire to reinstall the hose.... THE ONE TIME I FOLLOW DIRECTIONS I had to redo numerous things... I am happy with the end results though so not complaining about It to much.! There were alot of steps that the directions went overboard with I thought... it was worth maybe 400 for all the work if a shop done it due to them having access to lifts, torches, etc... after doing one it is possible to do one yourself no point in paying that amount to do one... thanks

did it lift the bumbers also? looks like they are still tight to the body in the pics, look good!

Yes it lifted the bumpers up also .... it was a pain to try and get them lined up but it was my fault in the end... I had to replace some bolts and they made it difficult to get the angle back after the bumper lift brackets.. im also working on a way to reinstall the factory tow hooks back in there original locations somehow and not below the valance.... all in all other than my truck being originally from New York and all the bolts being somewhat rusted it was a fairly easy installation the directions pin point everything to a T to DIY

How hard are the bumpers to take off? I really need to do that to get mine cleaned up and painted?

(4) 21mm nuts on the frame brackets both front and rear not hard at all

They definitely did go a Lil overboard but I'd rather that than it lack some directions. I also had to cut most of the bed bolts out, what stupid engineer said lets put weak torx bolt heads in the bed with thread lock and 55 torque lbs? I had to go to a buddies mechanic shop and get some of the body mounts pressed out when the directions said hammer them out. My buddy told me it took almost 10,000 lbs of pressure to get mine out. Lol a 4x4 shop should have no problem doing it your correct I think they are just taking advantage of people on these lifts because if I had the available tools that you listed I would've finished in 1/2 the time they said it is supposed to take but instead took me triple the time by my self

I saw a guy that replaced the lower valance that our trucks can come with not sure what model but they cover up where the tow hooks go stock and you can relocate them with the brackets that the lot comes with. If that makes any sense
