Torque wrench would help. And a haynes manual...if you don't have one. NO impact gun? An 18V cordless drill set to high torque will move those spring compressors pretty far along.

just a fair warning, i have intrax springs and i hit my frame on the ground sometimes when i am on a steep incline, it did about a 1.7+ drop and i could only get a trd kit, other body kits would be hell around where i drive, you are gonna be low so drive carefully

very true! I had the blackwidow kit and lets just say I scraped everything. If you want to do it go for it but you have been warned.

Cool

Any drop under 1.6" Intrax is a crappy drop.
The front end could use a 2" drop if someone made it. The back, isn't really far off, but the front is horrible.
