Default Need Help Installing Lift - STL Area

Ok, I have my TF lift sitting in pieces in my living room. I'd normally tackle something like this with a friend but when we're talking the suspension I'd like the help of someone with experience.

Is there anyone in the St. Louis area who can help me put the lift on my JK? My days off are Thrusdays and Fridays which may make it hard to get together with someone but have over $400 in parts just sitting there is starting to bother me.

I guess you and Wayne are on different schedules?

Those days will never work for me. I am a Mon-Fri guy most of the time.

If you can get a weekend date I will be glad to assist.

I would love to do this, but the only time I have Thursday or Friday off is July 23, and 24. The 24th I will be on my way to Superlift, so it kinda rules that out. Maybe I can get my spotter, which helped with my lift, to help you out.

I don't know what Waynes schedule is. I've tried to get a hold of him several times over the last couple of weeks but he always seems to be extremely busy and I really don't want to inconvience him if he's super busy. We'd talked about getting together this Thursday possibly to do it, but I never heard back from him to confirm so I've made plans w/ my old man to put out my new Expedition One rear bumper instead.

If Wayne can give me a hand I'd love it, he's a great guy and apparently knows more about the JK than the people who built the darn thing. He's given me nothing but solid advice since I met him and he was the first guy in the local club along with Frosty to extend a hand of welcome on behalf of the club. Everyone I've met in the club so far has been equally awesome. RockStomer, Marvin, Grace, Suzy, Moke, yourself, etc.

I don't mean to seem like an inpatient jerk here so please don't take it that way. I work 55+ hours a week on average and what time I have off I have to plan in advance. If I can get a couple people to commit to a day when we can knock this out, I'd be extatic. If I have to take a days vacation to accomidate other peoples schedules I'd be happy to do so, but it seems most weekends people are out making runs away.

I'd be happy to help if the wife will let me sneak out for a bit.

Not very likely though with a new baby.

I'm on mandatory overtime right now. Sucks working for a utility in the summer. But I can probably get off on a Saturday. I'd need to give like 2-3 weeks notice though.

Post up the details or a link to the thread so I can come by after work. But I may be going to the lake that weekend I will have to see.
