Toyota body lift question

Does anyone know how hard it would be to install a body lift on a 2002 Taco with manual tranny? I would like to put one on myself to save some bucks.

im currently in the process right now of doing mine... doing the front tomorrow... never did one before... and i did the bed by myself..... to me, it is pretty easy, but i work as a tire tech at wheel works, and i have dome my own, engine swap, clutch, suspension lift, brakes, so i probably have more car knowledge and tools than most people....

1 inch body lifts are just installing the blocks, 2in body lifts you normally have to extend the shifters and radiator brackets, its when you get to the 3+ ones that they get complicated. I did a 2in by myself with 0 experience just over a year ago and it went smoothly, dont sweat it.
