Just lots of time involved. Difficulty can be old rusty bolts. Having never done one myself, I couldn't tell you how hard it is. But I do have a 98 4x4 also that a want to put a body lift on, so let me know how it goes
The guys over at www.offroadrangers.com could probably help you a little better with this question... Good luck

It's more of a pain in the butt than it is hard. It's good to have an extra set of hands to lift a few things. It took me about a day to do it myself with my dad lending a hand for a couple minutes. Make sure you crank the torsion bars if you wanna get it leveled out. Any other questions email me.
