Get out your sawzall and be ready to make some cuts on the front and, then, drill some new holes for mounts and tow hooks.
Also, the rear bumper is a pain to remove the coverings (rear upper bumper covers) takes a lot of time and is a PIA.
Additionally, remove the front bumper completely, prior, and loosen the condenser and radiator to get at the front bolts. (you'll be removing the front grill, anyway)
The rest is just remove and replace with longer bolts and lifting to get the spacers in.
The kit comes with ground extensions - make sure you use them or body grounds can become problematic, at best.
There's a few other items like rehanging the parking brake cables (bracket included) ... I think that's it, been awhile.
I asked a few 4x4 shops if they would do it - they all declined and that's why I did it myself.

Honestly that does not sound bad at all.  All stuff I can knock out. Thanks for the fun down.

Man it looks like it has more lift. I'm thinking my 2" front and rear will be just shy of a 4". Thanks!

Well I do have bilstein 5100 on max height on the front plus a rear 2" block. I thought about doing the rc 3.5 lift but seen way to many issues. This was the best bang for your buck to get the same look lol also when your doing your install, try not to use a impact to break everything free, more of a risk of breaking the nuts loose inside the cab or bed

I settled on the rancho quick lift struts up front.  They are legit 2"+ had to get the 2" block for the rear just to undo the Cali lean. Lol

 

Had bilstein previously. Gained 1-1/2" after the ranchos. I'll post a pic later.

 

I'll need larger tires if I get a body lift. Sorting through that idea now...
