about 15 hrs by your self  on the ground.    lube up all the bolts   hoses are fine    it will give you a rod for your linkage   if you have a floor shift you may have to make the hole longer to get it to push forward all the way  for low range.   now the fan shrowd   you can split it and put a 3"sleeve  bolt and nut to keep it at the top  and the air box is tweek from the fender well .

SPEND THE BIG BUCKS.  BUY A GOOD KIT.  COMES WITH EVERYTHING, INC. BUMPER BRACKETS.

HOME MADE COSTS ALOT JUST FOR THE LONG BOLTS........

x2 If you can't spend the money for a body lift, which is the cheapest lift out there that doesn't mess with the IFS front end, you should leave it alone.

These trucks like to punch the body lift pucks through the cab also, so even with a kit you will still be fabricating/modifying things.
