Default Realistic time frame?

I just got a six inch zone lift kit I know the instructions say 8 hrs but what am I really looking at with two ppl. Keep in mind were doing it with jack stands but we do have air tools. Also the leveling kit was only put on about 1000 miles ago so the majority of the parts should come off fine. Thanks in advance

Ideally set a day aside, you don't want to rush. Double check everything. This is my experience with any lift I have done (except spring over axle on Jeep, requires welding).

Yes and no I've got experience with the older torsion key style lifts and I do all my own maintenance brakes, shocks etc so it seems like a fairly easy lift just time wise is what I'm worried about. I am a carpenter and this is my daily driver so I want to be very prepared.

Ok that's not to bad. Being my truck is my income basically you think realistically there's no reason I can't have it back on the road the next day?

Another thing I myswell throw out there I bought the driveline spacer and the steering stabilizer with it just in case I need them. Is there anything else I should pick up just in case? I'd rather have stuff and be able to return it later.... Again thanks for the input guys I appreciate it
