Do it yourself, it's good to learn anyway. Rent a pitman arm puller from your local parts place or buy one for $10, it makes it a lot easier to pull the UCA BJ off of the knuckle. You'll need two larger sockets (IIRC 27 and 30), a standard 1/2" socket set, and a torque wrench. I'd also recommend a breaker bar or a impact wrench as well. Depending on your jack, you may need a couple wood blocks to get it high enough. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours even being your first time.

If it was something simpler i might, but im messing with the front end. messing something up there could be deadly

you cant mess it up..... its really only 6 bolts/nuts per side... not inlcuding the lug nuts. man if you really want to mod trucks and make it yours learn about it youll come to love it more. the more you know the better off youll be.

I hope you don't mind I ask this here but I have a question regarding a level. I've given thought about a 2" level but how much more stress does this put on the control arms and ball joints?

FSU FX4

If youre going to level go at least 2.5". And im only 18 i know theres lots of people out there who can do all their mods themselves but im not just too skilled yet.

im only 19 ha, i did mine when i was 18, trust me do it yourself. it not hard just have someone around thats halfway mechanically inlcined. it will save you some dough too which should be most important at 18 ha

and the direction with most kits are good and there is a write up on this site too.

If worse comes to worse, just tow it to a garage. You won't regret doing it yourself because it allows you to learn. If it makes you feel better, I had a friend who would take tons of pictures of things he was working on that way he knew exactly how it was before he took it apart. He now doesn't and just jumps into things and goes with the flow. I personally think that every man should know his vehicle and if he doesn't then learn as you go. It's like driving a manual. EVERY man should learn how to drive one at one point of his life

IDk i still havent ordered it
