Passenger side is cake, driver side not so much, plus lining the body lines up after ou install them can suck. Not worth it IMO.

i pulled mine but my outer fender comes off of the inner fender (i have fiberglass fenders) so tear down is easy. even on a stock truck its not bad, just need to know where all the bolts are for the battery tray, washer bottle, fuse block, coolant bottle, ect. i can have mine off in 20min or less. SUPER easy to work on the engine then. i did a full top end swap this way (also yanked the front tires and lowered it all the way to the ground, lifted truck problems)

I didn't think the pass side was too bad, but that fuse block was a pain I thought, plus I'm a scrawny **** anyhow so I don't need a whole hell of a lot of room.

na just a few bolts, undo the tcm, couple bungy cords and its out of the way. newer trucks might be a bit harder but the 01-07 stuff is easy

It's worth it. So much easier getting up close and personal. No reaching and straining your back.

Then off they go

When removing fenders body panels etc. take a scribe and scribe around where the washer/bolt is, this insures when reinstalling just align the marks and tighten. The hood, scribe around where the hinge meets the hood...
