I chose RC becuase there a good brand and it was cheap (only 76 bucks). The front was a pain in the *** because i had to disconnect my LCA and then use my dads old spring compresser's that could come flying off at any time and hurt you. But the rear end was really easy. The front took me about 2-3 hours and the rear took me about 1 hour.

Looks great! Pretty much what I'm planing on doing to mine. I'm getting ready to put a RE 2"BB. Just enough to clear 30x9.5's for my DD.
Thanks for the pic!

Well you have to take the wheels off,then disconnect the front shocks,then disconnect the LCA,then get a spring compressor and compress the springs,lower the front axle and then put the little puck in there and then put the spring back in and reassemble. It will probaly take about 2-3 hours if you are limited on tools.

Yea the auto hobby shop here in Pensacola. I've driven by it and it looks like they've got a good selection of tools to use. For a budget 2in lift I don't think I could beat a price like that.
