I bought 2.25 inch spacers online,and I'm gonna have someone install them for 80 bucks, now it has stock shocks in the front ,should I just go ahead and get new shocks and have them install them with the spacers or should I wait and install them myself,is it hard to install shocks?

 

I would go ahead and install new longer shocks..really simple

 

You're paying someone 80 to install them? Sounds kinda steep. Could do it yourself, Pep Boys will loan you the spring compressor for 50 and then they give you the 50 when you bring it back.

 

I have absolutely no experience with mechanical work ,I actually though 80 was a fair price,theres a lot to bolt and unbolt

 

yeah, 80 is fair, if you don't want to take on the task.
there is a lot to bolt and unbolt.
you need to unbolt the shocks, steering drag link, sway bar ends, brake calipers, track bar etc.
then getting the coils back in could be a bit of a pain, unless you've done it a few times.

but it is pretty straight forward, and is a nice beginners experience.

is he doing it on a hoist? cause that would be worth the 80 bux right there.

 

no better time than now to start learning. if your worried take pictures of everything so you can look at the pictures. do it yourself save the cash and youll enjoy your jeep that much more.

 

And the shock insallation is a breeze.
