Man! Don't even talk about the advantages of having a pro do the job vs. at
least my amateur attempts. <lol> When I put my lift on
http://www.monogramsinc.com/jeep/jee...spring-big.jpg
I did it myself, by myself, with some hand and air tools, a floor jack and some
really cheep floor stands. It took me close to 40 hours to do the job. Some
time later I was at one of the better 4 wheel drive shops in town and I asked
what the labor charge would have been for the job, $350 and they get the kits
installed in a day. By the time it was all said and done I "earned" about six
bucks an hour for my time and effort.

But I did get bragging rights.
