It was pretty easy, alot easier than i though it would be. Hardest part about it was moving bricks to put under my jack since it wasn't tall enough lol.

looks good man! glad it was easy to do. Mine was harder than I thought. It wasn't too hard, but still took more time than I originally thought.

I've got 3" body. I like it. You can put the meat on the road but it doesn't raise the center of gravity too much. By the way, looks good man!

Is that safe to do? seems a brick could crumble fairly easily

i had to put a 2inch lift on the back of mine cost me 160bucks aussie dollars, to replace the coils, took me like 30 minutes to drop the back diff and swap them over. This was due to when the LPG was installed in the back where the spare wheel went, on a full tank of LPG the back end would sag heaps and would travel crappy on the road, so yeah it was worth it and now the runner sits perfect and even!!
