One person could do it, just easier with 2. I did it with me and my bud in about 3 hours. We had a Rotary Lift, impacts, and all kids of other stuff to make it easy though.

You have to extend the shifter linkage that runs on the left frame rail. And you have to extend your 4x4 shifter. I can take some pics if you'd like.

I'll try to get those pics up tomorrow guys. It got dark on me. The difference in the 94-99 and the 2001 up I THINK is the shifter linkage for the 4x4 in the floor. Not sure though. And if you wanna track down the other linkage start at your steering coulum in the firewall and there's a bracket off of it with the linkage hooked to it. Hope this helps...

ORIGINAL: spaz_22

the pa kit only comes with the front bumper lift, not the rear bumper lift, so your rear bumper will still be at stock height. You can buy a seperate rear bumper lift from pa if you'd like
Eh, you're back bumper is only aloud to be 31 inches off the the ground in PA anyway. Maybe I'll leave it low lol

Would it be a better idea to put more leaf springs in the back instead of those stupid spacers? Cause I haul heavy **** back there sometimes. Or are those things pretty sturdy? Guess the extra leafs couldn't hurt either way.
