Give yourself a whole day if you have 2 people. driveshaft's can be build from junkyard shafts believe its in the tech library. Might get away with the front shaft being good but no way on the back.

I did mine in a day with the help of a buddy. Make sure you have a grinder to grind off the old rivets. I like the RC lift, its a lil stiff though.

Make sure and get your brake lines extended. There is a tip in the tech library.

2.9 for now.
I just did a skyjacker lift on mine, I prefer using a sawzall to cut the rivets off then a punch to knock them out, the penetrating oil tip is important and Winston Churchills words "we shall go on to the end, we shall never surrender" Hope it goes smoothly.
