(INSTALLED WITH PICS!!!) Anyone in the Asheville, NC area that can help me install a

I just got off the phone with Wheelers Off Road (extremely helpful btw) and I've settled on this set up: I'd like to think I'm pretty mechanically inclined but I'd like to find someone who has experience doing this to help me out. My thought is to find someone with all the tools and garage space to help me out on a weekend and I'll throw them a few bucks. Or if there is a reputable shop that's not going to charge me an arm and a leg?

 

Sent you an email.
Hope to hear back from you.

 

Charlotte is a good little ride for you but if you need to make a mini vacation for the weekend here I'll help you out.

 

I could prob come up from gville,sc to help.

 

Great, this is just what I need when I've finally made up my mind
These trucks look awesome...

 

I really didn't expect such an outpouring of people offering to help me. This is a great community and I appreciate everybody who has gotten in touch with me offering a helping hand. Thanks.

 

I could come help as well.. I recently had a friend and I install mine..

 

Well then, we have a 3rd.

 

That's awesome...The lift will be here on Wednesday and I'm free this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

Try Rhino Linings out on Rutledge Rd. They did a good job on mine for a very reasonable price.

 

Sounds like you are getting it handled. If something happens and you can't get it done up there the offer stands here in Charlotte. The shop is in Denver actually.

 

I appreciate the offer and I'll keep you in mind. Hopefully it will happen this weekend.

 

I know I said OME kit in the original post but I settled on a complete Toytec lift with Bilstein 5100s all the way around and Dakar leaf pack in the back. It also came with a diff drop so that will be a learning experience for me.

 

You got it man!

 

Nice!

 

How much did it all come down to?

 

I basically got this:

And this:

Plus around $100 Shipping.

 

I don't see an extended bpv bracket listed in either kit. Did you get one in your packages?

 

Here's everything that came with my lift. I think the BPV-K at the bottom of the first page is what you're referring to. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Took us a little longer than expected. Naturally since the coil spring assembly was already together, the fronts went extremely smooth.
Ran into some issues with the front leaf spring hanger bolts. They were frozen solid/fused to the insert tube. Eventually had to cut both sides off with a cutoff wheel.
Was NOT very fun and very time consuming.
We pushed forward, torqued every single nut and bolt to spec and it turned out steller!
Hopefully Veg Hed will get some pics up soon.
