Thanks RB and Riggo for the input. I had e-mailed Rob prior to getting the kit and he had advised it is "not really difficult but awkward" due to the interference of the transfer case. Calling for more detail is probably a plan - it will be interesting to see how much detail they will share. I am still considering deferring install until I have an opportunity to get to UUC. It's a 2000 mile round trip for me but I can work along the way and it's also an opportunity for a good long road trip to uncover any other issues I may have as I just got this in December and haven't been able to get a lot of miles on it.
