Default hampton jeep help

Its budget lift, so "should" be easy to do.
Shocks, spacers, shackles, & add a leafs
(aal's need to be cut to size, only have 3 none the same size but all long enough and wide enough - came from a chevy 1 ton)

the guy that was suppose to do it for me for free, (my mechanic) hurt is back and now can't move for like a month

can buy beer & pizza and spare a little cash
just need somebody with a few tools and some know how

Install new rear bumper - i already got the bracket supports off but 4 of the bolts are snapped off flush...

You realise to cut them springs you are going to have to use cut off wheels, plasma, or a cutting torch?


If you have bolts sheered off.. I suggest you center punch them and dril them out. start small and work your way up.

I would help you out, but.. I dont work for food....

not cutting springs, cutting leafs.

I know most people don't work for food, but figured it could be like when someone helps out a friend, offer cash and food and beer...

Hoping there are some kind heated xj'rs out there

when are you wanting to get it put in? I could probably help you out. Leaf springs are a paint to cut, but it's possible.

What tools do you need to get everything done - including the bumper?

I really don't care when, preferably before this weekend so I can go do a trail ride with my girlfriend, but if it takes another week or 2 then so be it, price you pay for not being able to do it yourself..

jack & jack stands to lift the jeep
Something to cut the leafs
Drill and tap for the flush bumper bolts

I would like to believe I have everything else I need...
