Probably about an hour on the SYE. I didn't pull mine out, quicker that way. Make sure you have some good snap ring pliers. Is the RE lift long arm? If it's a short arm it shouldn't take you but half a day.

we did an RE 5.5in LA kit on my friends 04 rubi. it took us 2 solid days, partly because we didnt have all of the tools we needed. the skid plate is a bitch to set up to.... you have to drill 10 1in holes in the frame.
