Default Looking for help on lift kit

Ok.I feel weird posting this since I dont know anyone one here except Wiredawg,who I met for the first time on Sunday...it was great talking to u Mike...anyway I want to do a Teraflex 3" lift with control arms on my Rubicon but am having a hard time paying someone to do it. I guess im wondering if I order this kit would there be anyone out there in the area that would like to help and guide me in the right direction? I have a sweet shop bathroom and air..lol to work in. I can get air tools and the big boy floor jacks and a cutting tourch if needed. Anyone interested??? Ill buy the beer and food. If no one can help,who would put it on for a fair price in the St Louis area?

If you were a little closer, I'd be there this weekend. Hopefully some of the guys in the STL area can help you out. Doing yourself is definitely the way to go!

I never bought anything yet because if I have to have a local shop do it I got to buy it through them. Im waiting till I find out if I have the help or not.

You might ask in the Great Lakes section, where most of the IL people are.

I am not trying to correct you or anything but Waterloo is right across the Mississippi River from Saint Louis. Usually IL is separated in two section - Chicago and Southern IL(the rest of the state). The mid-west staging area is prolly a good place to start. There might be a few southern IL jeepers in the Great Lakes section but I think most are here in the mid-west. That is just my 2 cents.

I'm quite aware of the geography, I was just letting you know that Illinois is technically in our Great Lake section is all in case you didn't know.

I hope you all can get together. One of these days I need to drive up to STL area, it's been a couple years.
