Thanks. Its really not that hard. You just use a bolt and nut to secure the rear spacers. It is more of a pain just getting the bolt and nut in. It is really not hard. all you need is patience and I run out of that alot. There is so much information on here about the lifts so you really can't mess up. One thing I would never do is pay someone to do it for me. If you have someone to help you thats good but it is to easy to do to pay someone for it. Just let me know when you get started. I will help in anyway I can and I am sure other people will also. This is a great fourm for help.

Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone with the RC 2.5" lift care to divulge where they got it? Maybe I'm challenged, but I'm having a tough time tracking it down.
