U don't have to be that mechanically inclined. If u can loosen some bolts then you can do it. The instructions r very detailed and has pictures. It's really simple

Like others have said you only need some basic tools, and the kit usually comes with instructions. If not, there's a write up in the how to section.

If you don't feel comfortable doing it shop around. At least now you know how much it SHOULD cost. I got the HBS kit. I didn't pay shipping, but they may charge to Canada.

Good luck.

Default lift kit price

Well did some digging and found a vendor north of the border that offers similar spacers to the hellbent ones, with a lifetime guarantee for the same price delivered $69 approx....

For those interested the vendor is Canuck Motorsports....just do a search for them on ebay.ca
