Default NorCal 3" TF Install help

I wanted to see if there is any help here in NorCal to help me install it? I have been around to many places and they want an arm or a leg to install it for me. I am great at buying beers and pizza or anything else other than doing this alone. I don't have access to a fancy garage either but have no issues driving wherever I need to if anyone would be willing to help me.

I have a 2010 Unlimited, black

I am located Downtown San Francisco right by west-field mall

Anyone?

Thanks
Cristopher

I installed this kit about 6 months ago in my driveway with the wife in 17 hours. Followed WOLs instructions on project-jk and they were much easier to follow than the supplied instructions.

Don't know where you're going to do the install in the city but if you happen to do the install somewhere on the peninsula we'll try to make our way up to lend a hand and tools.

We lived in the city (3rd & folsom) for 6 months for my wife's job, didn't have the JK then, but I don't know how I'd survive without a place to tinker on the jeep.

Did you get the control arms too or just the springs/shock setup?

Christopher,

If you don't have a place in the city to do the install, let me know. You can come down here to los gatos and we'll get the lift on. I'd bet we can get hoggstatus, and a few others to come over as well.

I put my black diamond lift on myself in about 6 hours... With a few of us we can probably knock yours out quickly.

As long as you didnt get the long arm (dont have a welder) you are welcome to come to my place. I just recently installed another TF2.5" coil lift (3rd one) and got my time down to 2.5hours....an inch an hour, that has got to be good!!!!!!!!

On a side note was by your pad today... At the SF mall, seen all the people with no pants on. Did you catch any of that? WOW
