due to amount off options, i am looking at a 2" lift suspension kit preassemble, big question is how hard is this type of kit to install for you average home garage guy and what kind of tricks are in it, I have changed many shocks and worked on my race quadbike so I have some knowledge but working on a car for the first time is were I start to shutter at the thought of doing it myself, but there is a masive saving to made,
any feed back or pitfalls would great.

Ive been told by a couple people in the know that the springs are too stiff and could break the spring compressors which would potentially be deadly. Get pre-assembled struts or take the struts and springs to a suspension place. I think they use a special machine or something which does it. Ive had spring compressors go on light weight springs and it was scary.
Cheers,
