Can a moderately mechanically inclined and a not so mechanically inclined install Shrockworks rails without too much difficulty?

 

As long as you can folow these instructions you should be fine.

 

i'd suggest doing it w/ someone else. An extra hand will sure make your life easier.

 

Yes, but not having that available (doing the mod on a workday for most folks, but I'm retired), I used the box that the rails were shipped in to hold up one end while measuring, drilling, etc at the other. It worked out fine, by myself. But, do be careful about what size holes you drill where. I got mixed up and drilled the wrong size hole for one bolt. Shrockworks came through with an extra stick/strap nut to take care of my mistake--no extra charge. BTW: Frame is tough to drill through--and I was using cobalt bits!

 

X2 on that. Also pick up the unibit as well. It'll cut your cursing in half. I have a long arm floor jack and that really made holding it up much easier.

 

Definitely get the unibit and an extra set of hands.

 

whats all the fuss? Hubbo put mine on all by himself

He must be a real man No fancy tools or nothin'

 

It can be done. We install them all the time just take it slow.

no kidding, i snapped a couple new bits in half installing my long arm kit...

The frame towards the rear wheels is doubled up.

 

x8 be very carefull when drilling through the frame, my friend was helping me drill winch plate holes and the drill bit jammed at the end of the hole and the drill spun around and hit him in the head

man honestly i would wait and have a friend, i get really frustrated when things dont work out hte first time and friends help keep you calm and make it a good time so i would just have hlp
