They have arrived
My TF ss came in this week and I installed it already. On thursday I received my 2.5 performance BB from TF and my PA 1" body lift.

Installed the 1" PA body lift today with my dad. Good times, my dad hit his thumb plenty of times getting the washers off of the body bolts.

we now have the rear finished up with the TF BB. And I sanded and painted my coil springs red.
When we were finished with the rear and placed the wheels back on we noticed the sway bar link bolts were up against the tires and would have torn through them just backing out of the garage. So we ordered some wheel spacers.

It really isn't as hard as you might think.
If you can change a tire, you can install spacers.
The body lift is removing a few bolts, putting in a puck and a longer bolt, and tightening it all back down.
Shocks are just two bolts each. The BB is slightly more involved, but it really is NOT hard to do.
I am lucky enough to have a compressor & some air tools to make things go easier, but all of this could be done with normal tools, just need some more elbow grease and a cheater bar.
A decent height jack and a few assorted sockets/wrenches, a torque wrench & a hammer is all you really need.
If you are uncomfortable doing so, by all means seek help, but once you see it all done once, you'll likely wonder why you didn't just do it yourself.
