As for the install, mine was ~15-20 minutes per side, but credit that to air tools, pre-reading the instructions, plus a couple of great write-ups on this site.
Seems like I saw somewhere that someone who makes a spacer also makes a "add a leaf spring" for the rear so that it doesnt sag. I dont know if it was AS or not.

AS does make a rear kit as well.

I have the 2.5" front spacer on mine, and I wish I had done the 2". It's so close to being nose high, that I'm not 100% in love with it. The product is great though.

btw, the coil-overs for a 4x4 and 4x2 or identical in all respects except for overall length. so yes, this kit will work for a 4x2 or 4x4.

for you 4x2 guys, you can buy the 4x4 rear block/u-bolts and get an extra 1-2" of lift for the rear, and a 4x4 coil-over will give you 1 to 1 1/2" lift...add a spacer, and presto, your truck is sitting 2-3" higher on all 4 corners.
