Assorted metric wrenches and sockets(12,15,18,and 21mm mostly used),spring compressors,floor jack,jack stands,ratchet straps(to realign the clevis),2-3lbs hammer(to tap the upper knuckle to release the UBJ),and a torque wrench.

Should only take about 3-5 hours to do.

You wont need the spring compressor to install that lift, should be pretty easy

Get a big stupid drill bit to bore out those holes for the spacer that mount on top the strut assembly. mine didn't fit and I had to spend alot of time resizing them.

for those that have used this kit, how thick is the OTT spacer? and is it just one spacer per side in the front?

just what you see in the picture one per side, takes longer to get the airbox and battery out than to install them.
