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

Not to sound stupid.... What to you mean by hangars? The skyjacker kit I bought has rear blocks and new front springs...

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
