    If I had all the money and parts at the beginning, I would say no more than a week.

    Why aren't you doing it yourself? Save some cash.

    come get ya some in fort smith AR

    they are a small shop that is pretty busy, but they do great work and very experienced. im hoping it doesn't take them more then a couple months but the main thing is i trust them. they are good people so if it does take a long time its not because they are screwing me, its just because they get busy.

    i cant do it myself because i just don't have the knowledge to do it.

    at least a month you have to plan for "unplanned" problems

    and your doing 4 link and 2.5 coil overs? why not go bigger than 38s?

    Sounds good....I know where your coming from with the small shop and being busy, sometimes it takes me longer to do stuff, but the customer always gets more than they pay for with it taking longer....LOL

    One thing I will not do is compromise quality for time...

    Understandable. I was clueless too. and to top it off, they don't make a 99-up kit for 1/2 ton, you have to make the xx-98 kit work.

    see if you can get progress pics!!!
