Unless you are filthy rich, or knowlingly/admit you have 0% mechanical ability, do it yourself.
Putting on drop parts is no harder then changing oil. Loosen this bolt, tighten then new one. You might have a snag here or there but that is what makes driving it at the end so much better.

What are you looking install and we can give you all the info if it is something you are going to tackle like you should.

I would agree its pretty easy even for a first timer, but I don't think I would go that far lol.

Ditto! This install is very simple even with your basic tools, jack stands, jack and a few wrenches!~ GL

its easy but the only thing that sucks is the stock hanger rivets if you dont have tools and install the new hanger bolts where the tank gets in the way. its way easier when you remove the bed instead of dropping the tank

yea the tank side is a bit tricky but can be done with it there and without taking bed off. we did Rivets come off fairly easy with grinder.
