So im about to but the 5" lift from RC and dont want to pay for someone to install it. Me and one of my buddys that has a lot of Mechanic experience are going to try and do it. I was wondering how hard this project will be and if RC gives you every single thing you will need?
Any help would be nice!

Well, there is a possibility with any kit u could be missing a part, but you shouldnt be missing anything that will keep you truck up on blocks even if you are missing something. And basically, hes gonna be doing the work and your his extra set of hands, read over the directions real well a day or two before and then read as you go to make sure you dont miss anything, take your time, drink some beer, and itll take about a day

Its not the easiest depending on how new the truck is. IE dealing with rusted bolts, breaking off bolt heads (it will happen) then drilling out the old bolts and re tapping. If the truck is fairly new then it will take you 1-2 days if youve never done it, Just dont get frustrated and when somehting doesnt go right (bc something will go wrong) just take a break, think a little bit and go from there. Goof luck

Pb blaster is your friend, spray it on every bolt you can think of. Spray lubricant, try to use air powered tools on easy to work with bolts, but if you want to save breaking them use a wratchet and take your time. And remember, dont get pissed off and break something, i have that problem, just walk away, cool down and try again.
