    :rolleyes:So I have the following I have to get installed...

    OME 9000 & 885 coils
    • OME N182 rear struts and AAL
    • Diff drop kit
    • Carrier bearing drop kit
    • rear brake line extensions
    • LR UCA's..
    After calling around and finding most places want $450 to install I figure I can do it myself since I love this stuff...but I have no exp so I have no idea what I'm doing! well that's not true, I think after reading enough for the last few weeks I have a good idea but it'd def help if I had someone to help out. Beer and food is on me :) I think I have most tools or can borrow, but what I don't have is a spring compressor and to be honest I'm not keen on renting one and doing it myself (scares the sh*t out of me).

    Parts should be in early next week so I'm going to miss the build in San An this weekend...anyone interested in helping a guy out 1st weekend of Feb perhaps? I'm in west Houston/Katy area...oh, I have a friend who is going to install a leveling kit on his dodge so we were thinking to do the build at his house but I'm open (yes, I'll leave him on his own if need be lol)

    appreciate it :)

    Yah, thanks. I seen the post some time ago but I didn't order quick enough and all my parts won't arrive until the first week of Feb :( If only I could get the parts for the front end by then (I can wish)
