Default lift install help in ABQ

My lift arrived the other day Looking for someone with experience who might lend a hand. It's 2.5" RC coil lift on my 4dr wrangler X. I also got some TF quick discos to install. The weekends are good for me. I'm thinking maybe this Sunday, 29th or the following Sat. or Sun, April 4th or 5th. I have most of the tools save a torque wrench that can torque above 80 ft/lbs. I'm thinking about getting coil compressors, but they were out of them at Harbor Freight today. Anyhow, anyone with experience that could lend a hand/guidance would be much appreciated. I can supply pizza and beer or the like.

I might be able to lend a hand one of those two Saturdays. I have coil compressors and a torque wrench, and other tools you might need. I can't promise that my wife doesn't have anything planned on those days, but I'll check it out. Where are you located?

thanks for the response, I'm on the west side of ABQ near the I-40 and Coors interchange. I'm a school teacher and I've got the next two days off for spring break. I might just try and do it on my own since I have the time.

Gotcha. It really is something you can undertake yourself, just takes a little longer.

My wife is a teacher also. If you need the spring compressors or the torque wrench, I live near Candelaria and Rio Grande, 5 minutes from you...

Awesome, congrats on purchasing the kit. I'd be glad to lend a hand on the install. I installed it by myself but I think it's better to have someone around. I needed the coil compressors and I rented them for free at local Autozone.
