not recommend installing it yourself, regardless of your capabilities with a
wrench
simply because it involves the removal and replacement of nearly every
component
in the front-end. In fact,the only Mopar part left on mine is the
differential.
Without a Lift, lots of jack stands and three or four sets of hands it becomes
a
major pain.

I have helped a friend install this kit on his truck. It's definitely a two
person job. You do have to remove most of the front end of the truck. The
kit utilizes drop down brackets for the lower control arms, Differential and
torsion bar anchors. There are replacement upper control arms, adjust tubes
and a center link that will need to be installed as well as adapters that go
in between the knuckles and upper ball joints. You also have to remove one
cross member from the frame (there is a replacement part to bolt or weld in).
It would be a good idea to replace your ball joints, and tie rod ends while
you have it apart. With two people your still looking at a better part of two
days work.
