So I was wondering if anyone in the OKC area would be so kind as to lend me their garage/tools and assistance in installing it... I live in student housing at OU so I can't really do it here I posted this on okjeepthing.com, but haven't gotten any responses yet so I'm trying this one also... Sorry if I sound deperate, but I kinda am lol.

Well I bought it intending to have a shop do the install, but I decided that another 700 dollars wasn't worth it lol...

If you can wait a bit I'll help...I don't have garage space but once it's warm I'd help do it in the driveway..My only price would be beer and steak dinner..:P My garage atm has 2 axles, a tranny and t-case I am working on..I don't have a compressor yet since mine blew up and waiting on tax money to get one. So if you can't get any helpings once warm weather hits I'll gladly lend my hands tools and driveway..You would just need a set of jack stands..Mine have axles on em atm..lol

So basically you need to install new coils, leafs, shocks, lower control arms and sway discos..should be easy enough..Like i said when the weather warms up I'll gladly help just have no garage space atm with my projects going on..I am suprised no one on oklahoma chasers can help ...usually a good place to get help..

okcjeeper and nicetie,

I have 4 jack stands that you could use....and if you need anything else...just let me know and I will see if I can help. I work in the city by OU Med center....I could maybe meet okcjeeper somewhere and give him my stands for your project. Also have a compressor too if needed.

Sounds good... I really need to get this done soon cuz my wheels and tires are clogging up the storeroom at the armory and the Gunnery Sergeant keeps telling me to get them out lol. So if you know someone that can help sooner (no pun intended) I would appreciate it.

Oh it'll be a little while before I could help.I am in job hunt mode atm and gotta finish my projects before I can start another. So if you can wait till warmer weather I'll gladly help out just not till the weather stays consistently 70+..Plus I need to finish my axle swap, and replace my power steering gear box. So if you can wait and can't find anyone else then I'll gladly help. I should have a compressor in a few weeks once tax return is here..

I put an advertisement on Craigslist looking for a mechanic to install it and got lots of ppl calling, wound up getting it done for $250 from a mechanic with a garage...TJ
