The junk yard on schofield has shut down by the way- sucks...

As for extra parts or materials- yes no. Some white lithium grease. Check your mount points for the track bars, the ball joints, and maybe your flex compositor... Kidding. Jut do a once over on everything if it's up in the air. If you don't think it looks right post up a pic, well all try and help out. But in site eyes are always better. Ohh and check your transfer case shift linkage- the bushing rots off and bam no shifting your transfer case- $.30 part

Others will chime in for help as well as many write ups on a lot of these questions.

 

Just installed the TF 2.5 coil lift with shock adapters...very easy to do. Did 95% by myself and I am by NO means an expert. Had a buddy come over to drink beer just as I was finishing, he helped tighten a few bolts...

You should be fine. My only tip, use the YouTube video in conjunction with the written instructions. Very helpful. Good luck man!!!

 

The suspension lift is in,front 5100's are here this week, but the rears maybe 2 weeks....on backorder !!! Ill send u contact info and we can talk

 

U can read many threads on here about this piticular lift done by non Mechanics. It is easy and there are videos. Definitely would not pay to have this done.

 

Save the money and do it yourself. Mine was installed in six hours by me (A buddy did lower it once to help seat the rear springs, but I had to redo them anyway). Cost: $18 at the Nimitz hobby shop for a lift. ($500 for lift shipped to my door back in the spring)

I had issues on the front springs and spent a lot of time with a compressor trying to get them in.
I didn't need to adjust the steering either.

There seems to be a good network of folks willing to help. Don't pay someone else good money do it.

 

For an update, I installed my TF 2.5 today.

It wasn't "hard", just got caught up in a couple of places and it took longer then I had hoped. I had a hard time with the front springs, but got them eventually. My best advice I would give is too take your time, think about what you are trying to do, then do it. I found myself taking a step back and rethinking the situation because I had rushed in and approached it from the wrong direction.

All in all a great experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

 

I'm in mililani so if you need help send me a pm and I'll give you my #

 

We will do it at the auto skill center on schofield.

 

I did mine at the one on Lackland AFB

when i did mine by myself....i really wished i had got a spring compressor as it was hard for this old man to lower the axle and install the springs...the directions say...takes these bolts off an let axle droop as far as possible..install spring.....it WAS not that easy spring compressor would save you some skin on your knuckles
