    I know blktaco is just doing spindles w/ brake lines and a leaf pack with shocks in the rear. he's not doing coilovers yet so shouldnt be bad. as far as alxmir not really sure but sounds like he's got everything together. The hardest part of the spindles is the brake lines, usually, other than that should be straight foward. the jack stands will be real useful this way we can work on both sides at the same time. they also gotta go kinda high cause we are going up 4".

    Oh and blktaco you will prob need brake fluid and some cotter pins. sometimes they break and may need new ones. you can prob pick that stuff up at an auto parts store.

    I can also bring jack and 2 pair of stands, line wrenches etc. Also have a Big Ass Bar that's great for leveraging the LCA down so you dont even have to loosen it up. If anyone has some blocks of wood (2"- 4") that might be useful. Like Greg said it has to be raised pretty high (especially the rear when working with the leafs).

    My name's Alex Miller guys. Hah, easy enough. Lookin forward to gettin in the Orlando Taco crew.

    I've got to cylce with my old man at 8am on saturday (it's his birthday so there's no getting out of that one). I should be able to get there by noon or 1 pm. I'll get everything packed up and ready to go friday night so I can come straight there from my ride.

    I've got a 2.5 ton race jack, a set of stands, and I'll bring my tool set, tool bag and some hammers.

    I am doing a front 5100 install, rear AAL and .5" block, and a rear 5100 install. I will rent a spring compressor from AA or Autozone and bring it with.



    I've got 4 2x6"s i used to drive my G35 on to get it off the ground to fit any sort of jack under it. I'll bring those. haha.

    We can do it at mine, just has to be after I get done with my ride. I've got enough space for 3 in the drive way and one in the garage (which I'll probably reserve for myself). If the house next to me isn't sold by next weekend we can use that driveway as well.
