Question Lift Kit Install

Help,

Can anyone tell me where to find good directions on how to install a 4" skyjacker on my truck. I wasn't willing to come off the $600 for them to install it and I want to make sure I do it right. Plus if you have any tips they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Shooter

hangers are the parts that hold the spring to the truck.... used on the front of the front sprint (the rear uses a simple shackle)

and yeti... how dare you say parts is parts !!!!!!!

i said that and was told that most users her think my opinion is trash... shame on you!!!!

Your skyjacker is just a regular kit, no need to worry about hangers. Just follow Stan's directions and you shouldn't have a probelm

Make sure you have some heavy duty air tools and a long, thick breaker bar. They came in handy when I attempted my install. Also make sure you have a torch to heat up the pitman arm. I didn't have one so I wasn't able to complete the install. Good luck!

Thanks everyone,

RichCT, Do you have to have a torch? I thought all you needed was a pitman arm puller?

Abendex, Roger that on the beer....

Donahoe, thanks for the information
