Awesome! Does it drive like you had hoped?

Yes, but I think my motorcycle has ruined my definition of fast My hands are going to be sore for a few days though. Lots of reaching in tight places and subsequent scrapes

Bumping this back up. Been seeing a lot of new JK's in the area. Been thinking of a CT/MA M&G somewhere to meet some more new people.

Saw a 2dr dozer with what appeared to be 33's on AEV savegre wheels and a JK-forum sticker on the side in the Torrington Big Y parking lot on Sunday. Was going to come over and say hi but was in a hurry.

Default Lift Install in Stamford/Norwalk

Greeting from New Canaan. I have finally decided to lift my 12' Rubi Unlimited and was considering using Performance Specialties in Norwalk. Has anyone had any experience with them? Any other recommendations in the Stamford/Norwalk area? I am going with the Rancho 2" sports suspension w/9000 series shocks and they quoted $600 for the install.

Briggs Tire in Norwalk - Ask for Jae. He really knows his stuff and has fair prices.

Default Any good 4-wheel alignment places?

I'll be spending the 4th putting a bigger lift in my jeep, and I'll need a good alignment on Friday.

Anyone know of a decent shop near Newtown?

Thanks, Jack

Eric and mpkelly thanks for the recommendation. Spoke with Justin seems like a good guy. He's going to do the install in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

Alan
