Default Is it worth $200.00

I think I know the answer but wanted to get some advice...

I spent 150 getting the filler tools to install the AEV 2.5xt and Geo Correction Kit. Now i will spend 8plus hours doing the install...

or should i return the stuff, and spend the 350 to get it installed including alignment.

I have never done anything other that an oil change... but iam pretty certain I can follow direction when things go as they should. But as my wife points out, I have not patience.. what so ever and i hate when shit does not fit or go like it should...

That's your call, but it sounds like you should just dish out the extra $150 and make sure it's done right.

Personal choice. Me, I'd look at it as saving $150 and getting to learn how my jeep is put together. I have enjoyed working on things my whole life, the jeep is just one more of them.

If you can get it installed for $350, from someone who knows what they're doing, it may be worth it, esp if you're not sure of your abilities! The flip side, you'll learn more about your machine by doing it yourself......

Do it yourself and find a buddy or some guys from a local jeep club to give you a hand. Tools are always good to have
