I will tell you after Saturday afternoon how long it took me and my dad. Two jackstands, a jack to raise the axle, and a few sockets or wrenches should do the trick. I think I will have to take off the trailer hitch.

I finished doing the install about an hour ago. It wasn't that bad but getting the hitch off was an unneeded pain (8 bolts and disconnect the elec). mine were 13/16 bolts all around. I measured and the driver's side is 1/2" lower due to the gas tank I guess. It looks a lot better with the rear dropped that's for sure.
