I think that Rlith shows how to do them on his web page.

Don't really have a how-to, but if you follow the instructions you should be fine. It would be a good time to swap out your body mounts with poly's...Makes for a nicer ride. Use locktite, use a breaker bar if you can (and air tools if you have em, but air tools arent needed).
Before installing, check all your body mount boxes for rust...If you find severe rust (not just surface rust) get that box replaced before you install the mount. If there is surface rust, sand and put some POR15 on it to prevent further rusting.
Take your time. The biggest pain is the gas tank extention...
Pa body lifts are the best and come with everything you need...

I did mine by myself in 6 hours...The 1st one I did though was a little longer because it was my 1st time...Now I can do them in my sleep.

also, did you pick up the body mounts at a store? or order online? and did you grease or lube this stuff, and what did you use? see i get the package tommorow with the body lift, and im off tommorow but can use my shop at work... so i want to get it done tommorow, and if i do the body mounts, i want to have them tommorow. but my question is... i can set it up and put it on jack stands tonight.. would you think that would save a good deal of time?

so basically you just coated the whole thing in bearing grease? and all the mounts? body kit and body mounts?
