As of right now I am weighing my options for installing my lift.
Shops here want some high prices for labor and want to push 15 hours.
So I am looking to see if anyone around the area may be able/willing to help get my RC 4.5 X series installed. I have hand tools but I do not currently have the important stuff I may need. Jacks, jack stands, pneumatic tools, ect...

I am from is North Central WV, just outside of Morgantown.

Feel free to msg me or post on the thread

Thanks in advance -

If you were closer I'd say my garage is all yours for the weekend. I've got everything you'll need.

15 hours??? wth? rough country only calls for 5-6 hours.......

JeepDreems

trust me I agree

Astronomical time frame kinda through up the red flag, especially with the estimate on their site saying 5 to 6

Offer is still out there for anyone semi local, not sure what is good payment for the help but I am sure we can come up with something - if anyone is interested

If you've not installed a lift before, add 2-3 hours to whatever the lift's website says. RC said 3-4 hours for the 3" lift and me and my dad took about 7. It seems like we spent forever on the first leaf pack we did, but then the second was like 30 minutes tops. Leafs are a pain to get back in place with only one set of hands.

i can agree but I need jack stands and a jack, a garage would be great but its not real possible at this point

If you were close i'd help yah out man, i've swapped front axles on my xj and installed drop shackles for my friend...he watched, held the light when it got dark, passed me wrenches, etc. haha

its all good yall, i hope things just work out soon - my current stock suspension is about kicked. I am pretty sure my rear shocks are busted internally, my rear leafs are starting to bow the wrong way
If i hit a pot hole in town, the rear end feels like its floating
The front isnt any better, when underneath it - i can push up on the sway bar and practically move everything about 2 - 3 inches.
While under there, i noticed the tranny line outlet hose was crushed from one of the CA's getting REAL close to the block. lastly... the exhaust manifold has been subject to CA strike(s). It has one oval area alittle pushed in.
The other thing i want to do is replace the axle fluids, who knows if the PO ever did... it might be peanut butter for all i know >_<

JeepDreems
