How difficult would it be to install the calmini Sus. lift myself? I want to get it later this summer, but im not sure if i should go to calmini and have them install it, or should i just save a drive and to it myself. And if its possible for me to do it, what tools will be needed?

Not bad at all with the right tools and a BFH. A lot of us SWANKy's have done these and could help you if needed. Don't let a shop rape you for hundreds of dollars on an install they probably won't do right anyways.

I am a network engineer with no experience in suspensions and me and a buddy did it in 1/2 a day.

you should do this yourself and if you buy some beer im sure you wont have any trouble finding help out in AZ. Big Grin

We will be knocking out Spikes suspension lift here soon...if he ever gets the right parts from AC. Its nothing but a thing to do...take off tire, unbolt UBJ, unbolt and remove your shock, unbolt old UCA, and install new ones in reverse order. Crank t-bars as needed....get alignment.

Received confirmation of rear greaseable shackles shipping from AC today... ETA is the ninth. Expect to spend some time airborne the weekend of the 12th and 13th. We'll see.
