    My local shop wants $600 for an installation of a 4/2 readylift kit and I feel like that's too much. Is that about the same as others and would this kit be something I can handle installing myself?

    It's not that hard if you are mechanically inclined and have the tools. Instructions are on their site.

    Have you called ? Also does this company install a lot of kits like this ? I paid 900 for mine to be installed I think. Could have got it done cheaper but these guys done a ton of lifts Good luck

    Following. I have the same kit and looking into doing it myself. I know that in some areas they will let you rent garage space for diy... not sure if Patrick Judge is in this group but he posted on fb (Tundra crew)that he did it himself.

    As others say if you have right tools and are mechanically inclined and willing to persevere - do it yourself.

    I agree to say to DIY. I'm not extremely mechanically inclined, but do my own maintenance. Me and a buddy did it on my 6" kit by following directions and it went pretty smooth. I'm sure the 4" kit would be a bit easier. I say go for it, but I don't know your skill level, tools available, patience, etc. It's a bit more gratifying to wrench on your own vehicle and see what YOU did to YOUR vehicle IMO. Good luck bud
