It is not hard at all. I did my own lift and it was my first time too. You just need to be a little mechanically inclined. Good luck and post some pics when you're done.

lift is done, and also added the TeraFlex quick discos

and my pit crew

the new swaybar links were not any longer than my stock rears at 8.5 inches so i used the stock ones. the disconnect kit links were 12 inches. the rear look too short after the lift and the front ones look too long, but the 8.5 inch ones would not reach the storage pins when disconnected. drives great, will have to adjust the steering wheel just a tad but am not having any problems with warning lights so far. wife commented on learning a new technique to get in, said something about "hanging a cheek and scooting" .

almost didn't do the rear. on level ground the rake is very pronounced after the bumper and winch. did the front first and she sat perfectly level. the only reason i did the rear is i was not sure if there would be a down side later that would sneak up and bite me. overall i am well pleased.
