Question need advice on body lift install

sup yotatechers..i am going to order a 4crawler 2 inch body lift for my 3rd gen. i plan on doing the install my self with the help of some buddys. my question is. is this a difficult task to tackle?? i've read all of the 4 crawler instructions and they seem pretty easy and straight forward. but i just want some yotatech advice. are there any precautions/preparations i should look for b4 the install?? i do have experience with working on my 4R. i am mechanically inclined so no worrys there. its just that this will be my first body lift project and i want to tackle it with full knowledge and attention. any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate a body lift install.??

I have instruction from Performance Acc. body lift.
It's easier than doing IFS lift.

Hardest part for me was the steering shaft spacer for some reason.

Be sure to hit the ends of all the body mount bolts and the steering rag joint bolts and clamp with a good penetrating oil for a few times prior to starting, as noted in the instructions. Do this every day or two for a week or so to give the oil time to work. Seems that the most trouble folks run into is that one rusty bolt/nut someplace that takes as much, if not more time than the rest of the project.
