My dad said he would help me install a Mcgaughys delux lowering kit to save $400 in labor so my question is how hard would it be to do without a lift? I dont have a floor jack but i know i would obviously have to buy one. Has anyone done this in the past and have any tips for me?

I did a 2/4 drop on my '01 model by myself in the driveway with floor jack and jack stands. That was nearly 12 yrs ago!
