I should be getting mine in tomorrow, and from everything I've read, is should take about 2 hours to install, and you'll need to correct the toe like already mentioned.
I'm hoping to install it saturday.

What tools did you guys need/use to install the kit?
I noticed it said you need a 30mm socket, but someone said you don't need it, just a 1 1/16 wrench on the other end, is this true, or should I just get a 30mm socket? Along with the other tools needed?

I used both because the bolt attaching the strut to the lower control arm has a 1 1/16" bolt head and a 30mm nut. If I remember right its the only tools over 1" used for the entire install.

I just installed a leveling kit on my 04 scab yesterday. Its the best thing i've done to it so far. Definately get it aligned because I had to drive about a hundred miles today and I could notice a little wear on the tires.
Its not excessive wear but with the price of tires i'll definately be getting it aligned very soon. Btw the kit makes your 4x4 look like a 4x4, no more nose diving.
It was also very easy to intstall in less than 2 hours.
