not so fast buddy
you have two bolts and two studs
one of each per side be prepared to get frustrated
i ended up breaking one stud and destroyed one of the capture nuts inside the "frame" resulting in two holes drilled through the pass side floor board to get into the "frame" with a socket
in theory its easy if you know what your getting into first pb blaster that thing a few times a day for a lil while before attempting it will save you some headache
good luck

I'm surprised this is never mention when people ask about a lift, but I think it makes a ton of sense.
Before you do your life make sure there are no EXISTING ISSUES with your vehicle.
Take it out on the highway and run it out, find out if there are any vibrations felt at various speeds and MAKE NOTE of any that you feel.
VIBRATION:
What you felt?
What speed it started at?
What speed it stopped at, if it stopped after slowing down?
STEERING: ( to check alignment )
While at cruising speed lift your hands from the steering wheel a bit to see if the vehicle pulls to the right or left.
Make note of any pulling you may experience.
May sound silly, but at the very least you will know that after the lift is on and you feel any vibration or pulling wether or not it was there BEFORE the lift. Sometimes a life can exacerbate an existing condition. You want to make sure the vehicle is straight and healthy before modification.
Otherwise you may be back here asking about a problem, thinking it was related to the lift when in fact it was pre-existing.
