I'm always up for project if you change your mind about the drive 08... Karls10jk and I have been pretty idle since doing my custom snorkel.... If you change your mind, know that you've got a 3rd wrench for the lift party..........

I really appreciate it guys. I figure it will be an all day project and I wouldn't want to take my first drive with it back that far at night. Are there any places to wheel near you? I might do a 2 day trip if there was a good wheeling spot nearby.Also I work every Saturday so it would have to be a weekday or Sat nite thru sunday.

I always plan for the worst and you add on the 8 hours drive time that is a long day. I really appreciate the offer I'm gonna check with friends and shops locally next week, but I'll keep the offer in mind.

Anybody a little closer to me up for it I'm about an hour NW of Wilmington and 45 min SE of Fayetteville?

Yeah, I'm gonna call a few and If its 200$ or below I'll probably let a shop do it if not then I've got a couple of buddies here I might could bribe with beer. Just wondered if there were any nearby JK'ers that I could get together with, but you guys are a bit of a stretch. I sure do appreciate the offer though

Hey, thanks for your service. I'm a combat vet myself and I know civilians don't say it enough, but I appreciate ya!

I'm just worried about whether or not I'm gonna need a trackbar to get everything back in line.

I have a 2.5" TF coil lift and also installed a HD TF front track bar on my 2010 JK unlimited. To centre my front axel properly I had to cut off 1/2 inch of the HD TF front track bar........to be honest the original front trackbar will do fine
