How hard is it to install headers... I'm getting my TC and 3.42's installed in about a week and it looks like I may have some $$$ left over to get a set of LT's. I was wondering how hard it would be to install them myself...would definately save me $300-$500 on install if I could do it myself. How long would it usually take for a first-timer doing it and what would you say the level of difficulty would be...thanks.

Re: How hard is it to install headers... See my site for info on installing FLP's. LG's would be similar. Most other brands are going to require welding and a sawzall to cut the stock stuff up.
Re: How hard is it to install headers... Installing headers is not too bad of a job. It'll probably take all days. I installed my FLPs and getting the headers in place was fairly straight forward.
