I'm not sure yet how that will work out. It is really nice being able to do things on a lift, though...

I'll chat with momma and see what we come up with.

Doing a lift on that style of lift really wouldn't make things any easier. You need a 2 post to make a lift go easier.

I've got a lot, but none that I'm allowed to really bring new people over for. If you want to find someone locally that will host another OJT wrench day I'm sure we can get it done.

If we are to do a big lift on the ground it would be nice to have 4 large jack stands to get all 4 corners off the ground at once. We could have a couple of things going at once and knock it out a little faster.

Do you have new extended brake lines with your kit?

Which type of TF TB bracket did you get?

It's the Heavy Duty adjustable bracket (i think)

I replacced my lines this summer with Crowns, So i should be good there

I think i can acquire some 12 ton stands from my work...

I also should have my Solid Covers in by then too...

And... I got a call today about the hardware for my engine skid... he is looking to see if there are any spare pieces! lets hope!!!

Gunna be a big day, For sure!

If you still want to do this, I have two 12 ton jack stands at the house I can bring. Let me know if you want to do it on FLW or Springfield, so we can reserve a flat bay or just nix the whole idea.

I still want to to this at FLW, But i need to know if anyone is coming to help out.

If not, I will follow the idea of Aaron and try to get it done local. Just thought it would be great to have another last meeting up there before Jason moves!

I would love to come, the family has something going on that weekend I am trying to get out of it.

If I come I will bring a pot of chili or I could bring my pulled pork it is also very good, I will let you know when we get closer.

Jason are you getting nervous about moving or are you more excited to see all those new trails???

Thats cool, the reason I mentioned the jack stands is because it is a little unfair to the others working on there stuff at FLW for us to use 4 jack stands all day. We could sure get it a part fast if we can it up high on some bigger stands.

If you get your covers make sure you clearenace them for your e-lockers.
