If you do let me know so I can make it happen, otherwise I'm going to have to buy this piece by piece which might take a while....well if I can get someone to buy my stock rubi wheels and tires for 500 bucks that brings me to 4000....hmmm how to get two grand more....
Put your $3500 on black at the roulette table.

Thanks for the advice. I actually went on 4Wheel Parts and they have the same lift for 1850 and Northridge4x4.com has is for 2249...I might just buy it at 4wheelParts. I have a friend who is a mechanic and I'm sure he can install it. Hey Rustler!! To be honest I have considered it.....haha but everytime I do that I lose!!

Make sure the bonehead at 4WheelParts orders the right one, my local guy ordered the wrong lift for me. Needless to say I installed mine 2 months later to find out I only got the 4 control arm lift kit and not the complete 8 that I wanted. . I would call Dave at Northridge4x4 and see what he can do for you as far as a package deal, also see what Discount Tire can do as far as your wheel and tire combo... just a thought. Gearing hands down goes to Mel at Offroad Evolution.

I finally got around to this thread, hey FJ2JK09 in what part of fullerton do you live? I am over by Harbor and Orangethorpe. I will be installing a TF 2.5" spring lift next Friday, after that I should be an expert (it actually looks easy) and can help you out if you need it. I also have a 20% off coupon for 4 wheel parts, if you want I can scan it and e-mail it to you.
