They put the skyjacker 5" lift on it.. Did not look that tough at all. Anyone ever put a lift on in their garage? If so, how long did it take?

Yea, if you have pics that would be cool. Ive thought about getting a 5" lift for my truck but debating on paying, what extra 500 for a pro to do, or just do it myself over a weekend.

Your truck looks a lot like mine (assuming that's it on your avatar.) If you do the 5" lift make sure you get pics. I'd like to see how mine would look.

RE: "trucks" on spike tv
I just put the SkyJacker 5" lift on my 98' Ram
Went very smooth no cutting, grinding, bending, welding or modifications to make it work.
The kit used my existing block and springs in the rear with a new add-a-leaf I had an inch taller block just lying around so I used it. The new bolts they sent were just long enuf to get the nut and washer on.
I ended up having to put the Daystar 2" leveling kit on it, as it was sitting just a little low in the front when I was done.
The biggest problems I had were getting the truck high enuf to drop the front axle to clear the new coil springs.
Came with steering stab. and shocks very nice lift.
10 hrs by myself.
