This is my third truck I have installed Air Lift brand on. As in the past I like the end result but I am very unimpressed with the directions and quality of the kit. The directions bounce all over so plan on reading them several times. If you have a Silverado, plan on ignoring some of the specific instructions. They call for placing a thick spacer washer to level the upper bracket - well, after trying and uninstalling the bracket I called their technical folks they told me very casually to NOT install the washer - I must have a different truck.
The white nylon installation tool is handy - if they would only thread it properly. Instead of rolling the threads they should cut them properly so you could actually get the guide nuts on without wrenches. They do provide all the hardware and even a few extra's so when you loose parts inside the frame rail there are more to choose from. I had to cut off a few of the bolts as they were way too long.
Even though they don't call for any specialized tools, having a set of crows foot open end wrenches that can be calibrated to your torque wrench would be handy, or you need to be cleaver enough to find a way to torque the bottom bolt going into the plastic base of the bladder. I know about that because of truck number 1.
They don't provide enough wire tie wraps for the hoses so you'll need to get extras.
I must add that allowing four hours for install, calling tech help and fixing a few minor things is more appropriate than the 2 hours they suggest.
All that considered, the ride is great and they do exactly what they are supposed to do
