I used the directions on 4crawler's website:

Its not hard, I had never done a bl and I did it by myself in my driveway in a couple hours, just remember to get a can of PB blaster and don't smash your finger removing the captive washer like I did. Oh, and loosen the rag joint BEFORE you put the lift on!

Body lifts are a fairly simple straight foward install . If it is a good lift it will have a tech/install sheet with it , just follow it and it will go in easy as pie . I have done many of them on all different trucks and all where easy .

I only had to remove the "clipped on" piece on my lower shroud, but I'm running a 1.5".
But it shouldn't be hard (I think the radiator may even have pre-drilled holes 2" lower) the radiator is only held in by 4 bolts and they are easy to access (I replaced my radiator a few months ago and it was simple to remove)

The steering shaft extension is easy, don't stress at all about that. Took me ~5 minutes for that part. The most time consuming part of the whole install was removing the door jam panels to get to the bolts, so yeah, it was cake. With a 2" BL you'll need to do the radiator drop. You should also keep an eye on your stock airbox because it may crack because it will not line up good with the air tube afterwards.
