Default Is installing a Body Lift a 1 person job?

I installed the PA body lift on a Toyota Tacoma years ago with the help of 5 friends. I could do it on the tacoma by myself if I had to. But what about the bigger Ram?

it can be done, just make sure you keep your phone close, god help ya if you get a hand or an arm stuck between the frame and the body and cant get to a phone. Always nice to have a spotter when messing with something that heavy and akward
