Default WTB: YOUR HELP! Virginia

So I decided it's time for a new lift, since my springs are about 3 bumps away from disintegrating from the sheer amount of rust. I looked at local shops including a Jeep shop that all quoted me for over $550 to install. I thought maybe someone in my area with a little expertise could help me slap this bad boy on one weekend for some cash and/or beer and grub. It's a 2.5" Teraflex suspension lift with shocks going on a 4 door JK. I can't see myself paying over 6 Benjamin's for something that can be done with a little know-how and some tools.

I'm located in the Fredericksburg, VA area.

You need to check out novajeepers- it's a free forum with a $20 membership fee that will help you source people to help out with a lift.

Alternatively, I'm 4 hours south and would help out.

The forum is free, admission to the club and related club events/ discounts has an annual $20 fee- I should have been clearer on that. They've got heavy discounts in the area to where your $20 pays for itself your first use of the club discount.

If I was in your area I'd help you for free. I've done several TJs and JKs. They aren't very difficult, but it helps if you have a lift. I've done a few in driveways/ garages. Totally doable, just takes longer. Biggest thing is take your time. If you don't find anyone to help, YouTube is your friend! If you go that route just make sure you watch several videos because there are some folks that get YouTube happy and are experts on something they have never done.

Appreciate the help, the Jeep community has never let me down. If I end up doing it myself and get really lost, I'll be back on here with an SOS message.

I'll definitely check it out, and thanks for the offer. I'm more than likely going to avoid udinf a shop so I'm going to feel out the other jeepers in the area before trying to tackle it myself.
