based on my own experience...if you putting a lift kit on, even if its bolt on, and its bigger than 4 or 6 inches...deff. have some help or an actual lift to do the job.
 
The lack of tools will limit you more than anything. I have seen some local wrenchers do some amazing things to vehicles with only floor jacks and stands :D
 
I have done all my lifts with basic tools and no lift. (Although I am ready to purchase one). Floor jacks and jack stands will get you there.
 
I've done alot of work myself including new axles, tranny swap, sye, and lift greater than 4" all by myself. About the only thing I need someone else for is to stand on the end of an axle to get a coil in, put sleeves in shock bushings or push the brake pedal for me. My daughter can push the brake pedal. ;)

Had my wife helping bleed the brakes Sunday as a matter of fact.

Kinda nice she didnt drink any of my beer and looked better than any of my friends would have doing it.

Lifts are nice (I guess) but they just cost so damn much, not only in the cost of the lift but then you need "lift sized" tools like tranny jacks and jack stands etc, otherwise you are just using an expensive ass jack.

i have done many things in the drive way includins a 4 inch on my 92 bronco, front and rear gears in my tj and even a 6 1/2 on my brothers cherokee. the only thing really stopping you is time and money. it can take q little longer with basic tools but if you are wanting it you can git er done
