We lifted the bed off with 2 people and put it back on with 4, no hard at all.
TouchOfEvil04- If you're talking about your truck, its not even the same ballpark as the 99 model. They make a direct drop in for your truck.
FarmerBeau- I'm running a set of stock 8.1L injectors I picked up off of ebay brand new for $80.

are we missing something here?
