RSK, Superduty Spring and rear lift block install, how long

So I have the Premetal Fab RSK kit, Billstein Shocks for all the way around, SS brake lines, Super duty springs for front and back, and a rear lift block. How long do you guys anticipate something like this taking?

I have a 94 F350 CC LB, so there's no front axle swap to do, just these things.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a lot of research a year or so ago when I was going to do it originally, and bought all the stuff, and my computer crashed last year and I lost my info and tutorials on how to do it.

I could really use some help.

We talking a weekend, 2 weekends, several?

Thanks guys!

Depends on how quickly you work and if you have anyone helping you. With a buddy, you could probably do it all in a weekend if you feel comfortable with what you're working with and you definitely have ALL of the needed parts and tools.

Also, check your brake lines before you get into it. If the joints (where line & hose meet) are seized up, you may need to make some new brake line. Ran into this with mine in the rear even though my truck has almost no rust under it. You can always install your stainless hoses before doing the other work just so that there's one less thing to do if you want to get all of the suspension done in one weekend.

The brake system has all been overhauled so I'm pretty sure I won't have an issue with that, but I'll watch out for it anyway. Thanks for the tip.

I'm about 95% sure I have everything. I got everything I "needed" supposedly from PMF so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that I do.

I may just take my time and just make sure it's done right instead of trying to cram it into one weekend. I was just hoping to get an idea of the time frame.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
