skyjacker lift instalation

Those of you that are using the skyjacker springs on your truck, did you install them or did you have someone else do it. If you had someone install how much did it cost.

Thanks,
Jim

Looking to do both front and rear at the same time if wallet permits. So little time so many bombs to do to the truck and limited money, i guess I will keep buying the lotto tickets.

Re:skyjacker lift instalation

I put a 2.5 lift in my truck last month took about 2 hours start to finnish in my driveway. Job was very easy and the springs and bushings fit perfectly. If you are going higher you will need to change a few things, might make the job a little harder. If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the springs?

Looking at a 2.5" lift or maybe the 4" skyjacker lift. Should have room for 33" or 35" tires.
