I got Autospring 2" lift kit off Ebay for best offer of $65 with free shipping.

Hardest part of the install is getting the strut back into place after the part is installed on it.

On hellbentsteels website you can download the instructions if its too hard I would suggest buying the kit from them and having your local shop instal it at least you save 30-40 bucks on the parts

With the jack (truck is already on jack stands) under the lower control arm I jacked it up to where I was able to get a big screw driver and pry it just about into place. When it was close I was able to put the bolt in and with a hammer get the bolt through. I used a 1-1/16" socket on the bolt with a big adjustable wrench on the nut to tighten things down.
The nut will get to a point where you can just tighten the bolt end with the socket. No need to hold the nut.
I thought getting the strut bolt off was going to be a pain but with a 1-1/16" socket on the bolt end and a long handle it wasnt bad at all.
