Skyjacker lift install

Hello, is installing a skyjacker 6 inch lift kit w/rear spring difficult? I do have basic tool knowledge and slightly mechanically inclined and have also installed add-a-leaf from sky jacker in the front once. But seems like doing a whole lift looks intimidating. Do I need any special tools? Also is installing a drag link and pitman arm hard or straight forward? Thanks for your input!!

If you have basic tools and skills it's very easy. An impact wrench and some penetrating lube will REALLY make things easier. Pitman arm and draglink installation is really straight forward too. Get a pitman arm puller and a pickle for tool for popping those joints apart at the end of the drag link. Everything else is basic nuts and bolts.
