Default How much time to install the lift kit from tGlide stuff?

I ordered the lift kit from tGlide Stuff last night. I want to put it on this weekend but don't have a lot of time - too busy I guess. About how long should I expect the install to take? I'm thinking a couple of hours (I'm not the fastest guy with a wrench).

Had mine installed by dealer, they charged me 1.0 hr labor. If it was more than a hour I'm sure they would charged more.

Took me an hr and a half when I did mine. I took my time; my guess is you could do it in an hr. if you worked at it.

Given the fact that your rear shocks are hooked up to the lift kit I would take my time, follow directions, use thread lock and torque as specified.

2 hours on the first one I did. 1 1/2 on the second. Next time should be no more than an hour.

It took me a half hour, that was from the time I put the trike on the lift until I put all my tools away and road off the lift.

Thanks - that all gives me an idea of what I'm looking at. My intention is to get this done Thursday night before taking a road trip on Friday. Parts should be in on Thursday. I doubt I'll be as fast as msocko3! :-)

Dealer charged me 1 1/2 hours. Figure that was fair, especially with the very nice wash/detail.

Got the lift kit put on tonight with no issues. I took my time and it took me right at an hour and a half. Rear pipes are now 1.25 inches higher than they were before by my measurement. I will be riding around 300 miles tomorrow so I'm looking forward to trying out the new height.
