Default diy tc install

Has anyone installed their own TC? I am in the process of doing it and just wondering if anyone had any tips that might help me through the process.

as long as you have a LIFT.. you should be ok.. it will be kinda hard to do it with floor jacks. hardest part i think was getting the top bolts for the tranny. i needed to use some crazy long extension. i used a lift and 4 old tires to hold the tranny when i took it out. one man job!!

Remember SAFTY firsT!!

I'm picturing a TC in the tranny's bellhousing and an LSD as the pumpkin... Is my "picture" correct? Would it be more time/cost effective to install both at the same time with the tranny and/or the driveshaft dropped?
