congrats on your new components!

lol... how long does it take your installer?
good grief.
fronts would be 3 hours at MOST and the rear should be an hour and a half at most. I could do all 4 corners in about 2.5-3 hours tops now that i've done it a couple times.
as far as the tires go, it's about 40 minutes to break down a set, then mount an balance the new ones...

he did me a favor, and snuck me in today. hes swamped!
i had an appt with him for yesterday and had to break it when the friggin shocks didnt come in. he started working on my truck today around 1, assuming all goes well (no rusted bolts, or something else that needs replacement etc) i should have her back today. hes also doing oil change, and sawing off my rusted hitch lock.
hes a great guy, im not about to tell him hes bad at what he does!

congrats lee & BADLNDS-- I had mine on for a little over 5 years now... they perform very well-- great handleing not to mention also providing nice stance on the truck-- don't know why you guys took so long to get your shocks and springs-- If I remember right it only took me a couple of weeks when I ordered my set -- but then again that was 5 years ago-- good to see that those 1"PP springs are still so popular...
Here's how mine looks...
Rear...
Front...
Stance.. 1"
