Message:
Has anyone installed this lift themselves? About how long did it take and did you have to do any modification, besides the bump stops, to install the lift?

With three guys working (two with IFS lift experience), a vehicle lift and air tools, we did it in about 10 hours. Other than the bump stops, check the bolt for the steering stabilizer for rubbing (actually gouging) on the frame cross member (the bolt is a bit too long). Also, you might want to do this right away instead of learning the hard way - cut off the the droop stops and set it up similar to the factory stops. The TC ones hang way too low and are just begging to be beaten against rocks.

I actually used that write-up along with the instructions from TC - very helpful.
