Check out the link in my sig, it'll give you some info on what's required to do the install. It's not bad, I'd advise doing it yourself and saving the $200 (after you pay for alignment), but that's just me.

I'll have to agree with swamp rider on this one. it's really not hard to do a lift yourself and only requires some basic tools and locktite. Give yourself about 6 hours to sit and read through everything, double check and take photos as you go. They do come in handy if you need to look back and see how something was put together.
Does the 270 include the lift or is that just all labor? If it's all labor then i would do it myself.
You learn things by doing it yourself, you know what and where everything is and when your done, you can sit back and admire your accomplishment.

The $270 includes everthing. So its not too bad. But I would like to save that for some new tires though. I heve read a lot on these leveling kits and I have seen a video on youtube showing a top out spaced from velocity off-road but I want to either use Daystar or Toyotech. I seems like the velocity leveling kit will give me too much up front. Do I have to take apart the shock and strut or do they go on top like the velocity spacers?

they just go on top. if you are going to change the springs too, THEN you have to take it completely down to individual pieces. HOWEVER, you will still have to take the shock out either way to insert the longer bolts and piece everything together. Honestly, it's not too much of an ordeal, just take your time and ask questions. Here is a good link that I used the 1st time I did a lift. Piece of cake when you go step by step.
