i don't think you have to mess with the steering, that is usually on the 3" than you have an ugly lift and a bunch of xtra problems. i did a 2" on my s-10 by myself in an afternoon, just make sure that no wires are going to be stretched or kinked, or brake lines, maybe have someone look around as you're liftin it up. 8)

pretty much, just make sure nothing is stretching and stressing and if it is you can make little "drop down" brackets to relieve the tension.

The kits usually come with a spacer that goes under the dash and above the steering column. It is about a half inch thick and goes on the column mount in between the ignition and the headlight switch.

Watch the hard fuel lines where they come off the bottom of the cab, you might want to get them loose from their hold downs and sort them out after the lift is in. In general, just loosen up some of the attachment points where lines and wires are held to the frame or body near where they cross between the two. I think I actually had more trouble with the shifters than anything else, but I was fixing a poorly done 1 1/2 inch lift not installing from scratch.
