How logn should it take to install a 5" lift on a 95 Ram 1500 for a guy with better than average mech skills and all the right tools. the rear will be new springs not add-a-leaf if that makes a differance.:beer: :beer: :confused:

Depends on whose lift it is.
It took me and a friend over 20 hours to install the Fabtech lift on mine. Mostly 'cause their lousy brackets wouldn't fit my truck.

With a 5" lift and new rear leafs with no welding or anything like that, you should be able to install it all in 6-10 hours depending on the condition of the parts being removed. If it comes apart easily and there are no missing parts and it all fits right then that is a good estimate if you are mechanically inlcined and properly equipped.
A friend of mine did take 15-16 hours to install his 5" Skyjacker Class II system however.

I would plan on a weekend, and have another car to drive to work on monday, because something always comes up where there are problems...
