Default lift installer

Im looking to purchase a 3' lift for my 93 2door. I live in Tennessee but my rigs in NYC (Queens/Rosedale) I drive it when Im up on business.

Can anyone recommend a good shop in the area or willing to make some $$ by installing this for me! I have no prob with a shade tree wrencher but you have to know what your doing, PLZ (if I did I wouldnt be asking)

Ill be back in NYC in June/July

Im debating on BDS or OME, are they worth the $$$ if my rig will never see a rock OR trail. Or should I just go with Rustys or RC? Considering I do most of my driving on HORRIBLE Brooklyn streets, Im guess thats a retorical question

I want a full kit b/c everything is SHOT...

I live in woodside queens and i have a set of rc 3 inch lift front coil springs I'm selling all you would have to order is a iron man 2-3.5 inch lift adjustable leaf shackle for $129.00 look how beef this thing is http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/Jeep_XJ...es/XJ_RLS.html
the front coils were only in my truck from dec 2010 to march 2011 I'm now 6.5 inches and dont need them
but if your getting the kit with cotrol arm thats cool too. I dont have a shop to work on it but if all the bolts come out ok should not take to long.so

If you have an interest in bringing it down towards Philly drop me a PM. I'm just off I-95 and PA turnpike. Mapquest Bristol,Pa. You could catch a train back to LI and come back down when completed.

I can provide references and i have done work for some here. 20 years exp wrenching on Jeeps.

Overland, my time is limited when I'm in the area, so that won't work for me, but thanks for the offer bro!!!!

My main goal is to knock this out as quickly as possible by someone who can handle any stubborn bolt or unforeseen issues!!!! Basically done ONCE RIGHT...

over 100 views and everyone installed there OWN suspension?

I dont believe that! BUT if this indeed is true, NO ONE wants to make any money?

I find that TRULY unbelieveable, a New Yorker not wanting a side hussle...

thought i would have had 10 people knocking the door down to take this job, guess everyones RICH

I think what it comes down to is time.
I myself turn down side work to because my life schedule is so busy and when I do have time I end up working on my own Jeep.

I'm not from NYC and I don't know anybody there or how people really are. Try posting in the wanted section? Maybe that may get you some answers or somebody willing to help.

thanks dude, for your valuable input and time out of your day. For your info, I have had several PM's offering to do it, they were just out of the way so kill yourself

Ive found a couple shops but would hate to walk in blind for your information, dont wanna walk in not knowing there work. There several shops in Nashville and thats all they do is specialize in jeeps and lifts and that what I was looking for. Im sure any mechanical shop could do this NO PROB.

I lived in NYC for 15yrs and guys do crap all times of day and night, just figured it was a no brainer to ask

Try installing it yourself, it's not hard and wouldn't take any rocket science.

to be honest with you bro I WOULD if my rig was in TN where I could work on it in my garage..

I come to NYC on business, therefore NO tools, NO time, no place to do it!

You dont wanna push your luck when you can stay with friends for FREE and store you rig there year round
