I might come up and help, depending on when you're doing it. I recall that kit required a little bit of cutting and welding, right?

It's a 6" Skyjacker lift. There is no welding only cutting about an inch off of the front diff that is just a piece of metal that looks like a heat sink.

I've done those style lifts before, they are not too bad. The more people you have to help the better. Make sure you have your BIG sockets ready!

I might be able to make it up there, but I would need to know what day and would probably need a place to crash for the night and some motorcycle parking.

I put a Skyjacker leveling kit on my Brother's 2010 GMC about a month ago and he is already starting to look at bigger lifts.

If I know far enough ahead to not have to go to work, I can offer up my shop and (air) tools. We could probably knock it out pretty fast.

I've got the air tools for it. I have already put the rear springs on. I found it easier with hand tools. It was cramped for the impact. I certainly will use it on the axle nut on the front. I figure with 2 other people (maybe 3) can get this thing knocked out in about 4 hours. I have cranked the front tbars as high as they'll go and it looks like it has the muscle car slant to it. lol I would prefer to have somewhere to work on it due to my driveway is at an incline. I just know I've had this lift for 6 years and it's time to finish putting it on. as soon as the vehicle is roadable I'll make a solid plan to get it installed

How adjustable is the front? I wonder if it'll be ass-low afterward

It should sit level once the full kit is on.

correct. I actually will probably have to crank the Tbars all the way down for it to sit level judging by it's stance as is.

I doubt 4 hours. It is still a lot of work.
