Normal
I've participated (We always did them in pairs then split the time down the middle) in two frame jobs and witnessed several more. There not as bad as they sound. Everything gets swapped over in big chunks, hardly any part goes piece by piece. Ford probably calls for about 40hrs to replace it. The cab, all the interior, bed, engine, trans, t-case, rear/front axle assembly all stay 99% together while they're transferred. The suspension comes apart in sup-sections so its easier to handle. The bumpers to cab to bed alignment is the the only part that takes a little time.Nothing on the R's suspension resembles our trucks suspension.
