I bought 2.25 inch spacers online,and I'm gonna have someone install them for 80 bucks, now it has stock shocks in the front ,should I just go ahead and get new shocks and have them install them with the spacers or should I wait and install them myself,is it hard to install shocks?

 

You should replace the shocks.. I would atleast and doing so is pretty easy.. a nut on top and a bolt on the bottom. If I were you i'd install the spacers myself too.. save yourself the 80.. put it toward the shocks

 

I've never done that kind of work but to me it seems like suspension work would be much easier than engine work... When I buy my lift Im gonna do it all myself. If you have the tools it's doable yourself IMO

 

Suspension work can be easier.. you have to deal with stubborn bolts sometimes and that can be a pain.. I lifted my jeep with no prior experience and it wasn't bad.. just had to remember the 10% rule.. be 10% smarter than what your trying to operate

 

Thats the problem I don't have the tools to install spacers,but would I need to take of the spring just to install shocks ?,after the spacers are installed?

 

If you have the tools to do it then I would suggest to do it yourself. If you mess it up, then pay but its not hard to do

 

No you don't need to remove the springs.. just take off the old shocks and put the new ones in

 

Do yourself a favor and start buying tools. Nothing too fancy, just some basic hand tools in both metric and standard sizes will do you fine. If you ever plan on going off road, you should have tools with you incase you break out on the trail.
