Metro Vancouver, BC, Canada - Help with suspension install?
Hey!
Wheeling isn't really my scene, so I don't really get much of a chance to meet anyone locally. While this forum has been great, it's been hard finding out just how to get stuff done locally since I don't really know anyone local who has a Jeep. I'm hoping that someone local might be on this forum and could give me a hand! Background I'm really set on getting new springs installed in my XJ. I think the leaf's are sagging a bit (I have to measure again, but I'm pretty sure they are sagging), I need a little more clearance and I need a something that could handle a bit more load. But I have the following problems:
I am pretty much 100% convinced to go with the "upcountry" suspension, so it's nothing crazy. More on the rationale below. Ask Is there anyone in Metro Vancouver that might be willing to give me a hand? Ideally, I'd be looking for someone who has some space, tools and a bit of experience to help me replace the coils and leaf springs on my XJ. I have some tools, but unlikely to have everything needed, and I'm a keen learner. But I'd definitely need a hand and someone who is confident in what they are doing so I can learn! I'd be willing to compensate with beer, food, kindness or even throw a couple hundred your way for your trouble. Alternatively, if you know a shop in the area that you trust with your rig and you know is fair I'm open to getting recommendations as well! I'm not 100% against having a shop do the work.. I just want it done well and I want to make sure I'm involved in it enough so I'm keen on a shop that does a good job and communicates well. Further details So ... rationale for the "upcountry" lift:
I'd be looking at crown or dorman HD leafs, Moog front coils, 0.75 coil spacers, IRO 0.75 adjustable rear shackles, front shocks & probably keep the current rear shocks since I can do those in my parking garage. So as you can see - I think it should be fairly straight forward for someone who knows what they are doing. My XJ is pretty low on rust, but I haven't touched any of the bolts around the springs. As a reference, I replaced the rear shocks a year ago and the bolts came out no problem. I'd really appreciate any help anyone could give me! Hope to at least get some recommendations for shops, even! |
