I don't know about that exact lift but if you think you have the skills to tackle a project like this than you probobly can. Lift are pretty easy if you are mechanically inclined. a spring spacer lift would be a fairly easy process with minimal tools required. I installed a 4" lift on my tj a couple years ago. I had never done something like that before and i had an almost flawless install. Get a buddy to help though it makes things much smother.

I agree with chris269

I would say on a scale of 1-10 it would be about a 3. I would think anyone with a good set of hand tools, a jack, some jack stands and basic skills could do it in an afternoon. I did a 2.5" skyjacker on my JK in an afternoon with air tools but I could have went without. It is basically the same thing just swapping springs versus putting the stock ones back in with the spacer on top. See if you can read through the instructions first...that should tell you right away.

A kit like this should be that much different than installing a budget boost on a TJ. Here's a link to a BB install write-up that I did years ago.

This should help you get an idea of how easy it really is to do
