I would guess a good weekend. ALso you have to remember to get the front end aligned. When I get the parts for mine I'll ask off for a few days to have the time to clean everything up and have all the time I need.

I got first dibs on your 1.5" WC Springs!! I'd give yourself a weekend to do it all. Friday night, start getting your front end apart, and take your bed off. Then saturday, get the front end buttoned back up (Hope there's a shop open on saturdays to press the bushings in). Then sunday, get your Shackles & C-Notch put on, and the bed put back on. Then monday, go have it aligned.

I agree with Tim (who'd a thunk?

)...give yourself a long weekend to be on the safe side. It is a pretty major task, and something is bound to go wrong and delay things.

Also...IT IS "SELL"!!!

Stop "F"ing around and order the bags, plates and cups from jason at www.***************** should run ya about $225 to your door. Then just run a schrader valve and set it where you want. If you decide later that you want to bag the rear and add an air controller at least your half way home! Probably cheaper anyway.
