Default Instaling a lift kit?

Hey I was just wondering how hard is it to install a add a leaf lift kit? Bout how long does it take? And maybe on a scale of 1-10 difficulty

I'm pretty mechanicaly incline so I'm think I can do it myself with some buddys but just wanted some opinions

I just did that on my xj. I would rate it at like a 3 maybe 4 pretty easy if your mechanically inclined. Just make sure you put the on the way they came off though.

Aal is good for going with a smaller lift. Anything bigger than a 3 I would go with a full pack... but aal is not a bad cheap way to get some height

Most things are pretty simple as long as you have the right tools. Its when you start to make your own tools is when things get hard
