i got my 6 inch pro comp lift and the tires and wheels today.. im planning on installing the lift myself, are there any special tools i need? and also i have the lift time warrantee on my truck and i was wondering if all this is going to void this.. ** i guess it might be too late but i decided to ask** anything i should be aware of wearing out? thanks

 

anyonee???

 

I have an 07 lifted by the dealer when I bought it brand new. I have the 6" Fabtech lift on it. The lift came with the same warranty as the truck, 3 yrs. 36k. I have about 35k miles on her now and no problems yet with anything wearing out or breaking. I don't go off road that often. The tires are wearing out even all the way across. Couldn't be happier with it. The only down side is mpg is worse than stock and the turning radius is a lot worse than stock also.

 

hmm I have no idea man...most people pay a shop to do it

 

Yeah, have fun installing that. If you don't have a lift, it will prob be pretty hard.

 

ohh boyy im in trouble... i didnt take in consideration the expense in installing it... soo im stuck doing it myself

 

Just save up and wait to do it then.

 

I put mine on at my house with just jacks and jackstands ( a shop that install lifts gave me an estimate of $1000 to install so i just decided to save that money and do it myself)....it definatly took longer without haveing a lift to get it into the air that would of been nice. Directions said 8-12 hours for mine, in all i was probably at about 24 hours of work on it. But take into consideration that i didnt have a lift and, havent done a project as big as that before....just take your time and youll get it done.....were here if u need help man

 

Guys come on now, its not that hard. I did my spacers to level by myself. Then took it all back apart to do my Rough Country lift which mean adding 3" spindles and 3" shackles. Then later took it all back apart again to add 3" CST springs and 1" blocks. The I did my 3" BL by myself. All of this was done with hand tools, floor jacks and an occasional jack stand.

OP, see if anyone is close to you and is willing to help.

 

Anyone that tells you to blow 1000$ at a shop for an install is crazy, when I get my kit there is no way Im paying someone to put it in, ill do it in my driveway with a jack!! I did my BL and level without any issues this way. Just go slow and make sure you do every step in the instructions. Just get 1 buddy over to help, the more people there the more distracting it gets and you get random idiots pulling chit apart and you dont know whats going on, me and my friend did the body lift together with a 12 pack no prob along with lift kits in my older 4x4s no problemo.. PM rubberfrog, I know he did his 6" in his driveway with no lift and he would for sure know of any special tools you might require..
