takes about a day to install a lift. hardest part is getting the old sprig bolts out unless you use a torch. u-bolts take some time to, so I'd start spraying wd on them a week before ya do it. tuff country makes a good lift and doesnt cost both arms.

The October 1999 issue of 4x4 Power has a good article on putting a 4" Tuff Country lift on a 69-72 Blazer. If you want a copy, e-mail me your snail mail address and I will send a copy to you. You can also check out my site under the lift section to see the install of a Tuff Country lift and rear shackle flip from www.offroaddesign.com. My signature has my site link.
