I haven't done mine yet, but it doesn't look that bad... Ask a friend help if you want/need.

As my friends here on the board can attest, I am not mechanically inclined. It is very easy to do and Paul here on the site has a great website complete with pictures and detailed instructions. As I don't know the exact website, you can find it in his sig or use search for his pics. His id is Paul2kGXE.

Yeah... thanks for the mention blackY2Kmax. Your sig cracks me up. I hope the wagon wheel comment doesn't follow me around for the rest of my life. :]

Circo, check out the the RSB install instructions on my front page.

Not for the rest of your life - but at least for a little while!! It's kinda funny and I like it in my sig!!! After you said it and the more I look at them, the more I begin to agree with you!!

CIRCO - they are great directions. Paul is too modest, but he did an excellent job of taking the right pics and explaining the small details the instructions that came with the RSB left out. They should allow you to do it trouble free!

Yeah, follow Pauls instructions because he has REALLY good ones. Too bad I didn't install my RSB after him.

I installed mine in about 30 min. I must admitt thanks to Paul, I had his instructions right next to the stillen instructions. I like how he told you what holes to use, while the stillen instructions seemed kinda vague to me. But you shouldn't have any trouble. Get some jackstands if you don't have any and have at it. The hardest part is gettin the pesky lug nuts off if you don't have any air tools.

I installed mine on my own. It was an addco bar. Jackstands are a must and a friend would be really helpful. I needed a deep socket set for mine. Not sure with the stillen.

2001 requires cutting for stillen

NOTE: that the Stillen RSB for the RSB requires cutting. The 2000 and the 2001 is different. The ABS line cover is different, so it needs to be removed or cut. I have to have me parts cut and then instal mine. Use pauls website! it has great pics and instructions.
