I felt like it was pretty straight forward. I only got hung up (literally) when the shock wouldn't fit out of the tight frame space and I had to remove the muffler to get the bolt out of the way. Probably could have moved the air box to do it too but wanted to paint the front pipe anyway. You'll need a few more tools than the average homeowner set - socket adapters and extenders, sharp allens, torque wrench, breaker bar, leverage pipe. Jack, manuals, grease, anti-sieze, thread-locker. Time, patience, beer. Knowing it was done correctly? Priceless.
Oh by the way, painting the header/muffler pipe is a bad idea, mine burned off immediately. It's a stainless pipe under the factory paint. Wire brush grinder it.

Sweet. How hard was it?

Hopefully the guy Jared hires will do a good job too.
I think that's mean spirited, why would you say that? Cause it isn't.
