With a couple of good buddies you can have that lift done pretty quickly. My buddies and I did mine and while it took us 3 12 hour days, it was pretty simple. If we had had air tools it would have gone a bunch quicker. This was using nothing but ratchets, wrenches, and jacks. Also, when you go to install it, follow the directions. We wasted almost a full day because we decided to take a short cut. I don't know how far away you are from college station but if your not to far I'd give ya a hand.

if you wanted to drive to northern Arkansas, we got a huge 2 post lift in a 40x70 shop and all the air tools and hand tools you could imagine.

I started on mine at 12pm friday and finished at 12am sunday. But like I said, I was doing this in my driveway with hand tools and didn't follow the directions. It also didn't help that my driveway is very slanted and we kept dropping the front axle off of the jack.

Somehow doing a lift kit in a driveway in North Dakota in January doesn't seem to add up. You may be better off farming this one out.

I guess you can not teach an Aggie geography. Maybe we can get some donations and send him a map. But, he would still need to learn to read it.
