Yeah, I hear ya. When glwood and I installed mine we used two jacks, jack stands, wood blocks and spring compressors.

You're more than welcome to hop in. If you've never been out to the Puerco, it's pretty amazing.

The last lift I helper out on was for frankenstunk. He added another spacer on his 2.5BB. It was a PITA because Rubi springs got a lot of travel then trying to add more BB.... But he had an aftermarket bumper and I used a Cherry Picker to lift the body. And a floor jack to drop the axle. It worked out very well once we loosened the control arms. I would say if you have an aftermarket bumper that is the easiest way to do it.

Well if anyone has jack stands and what ever we need to get it on. I will be free most of the day tomorrow. I have never installed a lift before and i know if i do alone it will take me all day after I get the tools. If you guys are free and have a spot to do it I am all in for meeting up and going wheeling when we get done. I will buy pizza and beer or whatever you guys would want. My bud has a big 4 car garage but doesnt have jackstands or anything that we are more than welcome to use tomorrow but he is located at Paseo and just short of Tramway. Thanks everyone. I really would like to get it on tomorrow if not it will be prob 3 weeks til I am off all weekend and can take the time to tackle it myself.

Man I really won't know if I can spend a lot of time helping tomorrow. I would hate to start and have to leave... That is why I was hoping for more hands. Because right now its just me and you.

Its just springs and shocks? Or what all you got?
