Default Help me with lift, get $$$

Hey guys, I got a rough country 3" lift full leafs and control arms. I got 16" rubicons with 245/75r16's bfgoodrichs. I need help installing the lift kit. I lack the know how and the tools required to complete the job. Im on Long Island NY and willing to pay someone for their help, I will be assisting, I just lack the tools. I've watched plenty of videos and got a general knowledge of how to dissasemble and reassemble most parts, but a person with experience and tools would be very helpful. If you're interested feel free to PM me (please be local, somewhere on LI or NYC area) and we can discuss prices and meet up schedules.

Thanks. I'll post pictures later of the parts, im compling this message during class.

Hey you know, all you really need are some ratchets and massive wood blocks. I installed a lift on one of my friend's Jeeps with him and that's what we used. The wood blocks were about 1ft x 1ft x 1ft squares, and we put 4 under the Jeep's unibody, and it kept it in their air for us while we used ratchets to install everything.

Point taken , with that said I wonder if he will say this verse

''If you can't find the right tool in this garage, Mr. Arizona, you don't belong near a car''

What's your budget? I was in a similar position and just did it all in my driveway. All of my knowledge came from here and other forums.

Hit up harbor freight, sears, etc.... Spend around $100 in tools. 1/2 ratchet and sockets. 1/2 breaker bar. Set of wrenches. Hammer. Pry Bar.

You'll need the tools again, trust me.
