installation of a body lift
 
Anyone know how easy is it to install a body lift on a 02?

On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 7 that is with help from friends

If you know how to work on cars you should be good to go. If not then will be harder.

Yeah i had to cut a couple cab bolts cause they were stuck. Other than that it was pretty straight forward i think.

That's not bad, I had a few places offer $400 or more to do it. But me and a buddy are putting it in sometime soon. Whenever I get my new tires.
