Thats what I am thinking Tim. The front is more expensive then the rear for the truck so I can get that first at some point. The rear is cheaper and also alot lighter and easier to install.

I was lucky enough to have a tractor with a lift bucket to install the front one on the X. It was a pain to say the least.

I dont have that much luck Tim. For me it will probably be my older brother and myself installing it with the help of a floor jack and some cribbing.

Figure the hardest part is getting in raised up enough to get the bolts started. Once they are started we can adjust it from there alot easier.

Exactly. Several jacks and lots of wood.
