Estimate on a lift install?

oh yeah that makes sense. Use your best judgment then; 20 ft lbs. isn't too much

 

Free if you do that shit yourself. Plus you get the satisfaction of good work that you did. Always the best option for me.

 

well really vancouver its that far away would u be willing to help if i drove up there and we did it i mean id rather do it myself but im machanicly reatarded lol i mean i did my k&n intake but thats easy.......... u know a 30 pack and an install would be nice just have to talk the wife into letting me go up there on my RR leave when i get home from deployment lol

 

+1 for new UCAs

 

i say get derty,eat some grease,do it yourself.

 

Tighten it just enough to get the bushings to start to swell. I just have about two threads sticking out the top of the nut.

To the OP, do the job yourself. It's really quite basic. There are good instructions on here posted by Chris 4x4. I actually got most of my info from alldatadiy.com. I borrowed (w/ deposit) the spring compressors from Autozone. I had the front end done on mine in about 3 hours. The impact wrench really sped up the spring compression though.

 

And torque wrench can't be used to check the the tightness you picked. 20 ft-lbs isn't much.

And +1 for doing it yourself. A floor jack, some jackstands, and a buddy you'll get it done in a day. You can get a shop to compress the springs and build the new coilovers up if you don't want to mess with a rental compressor.

 

Just for your info I paid $650 for my install. It included, 5100's all around, OME 885's up front with 2" rear AAL's, TC UCA's, New rims and tires mounted and balanced, alignment, and the trimming up front.

 

You should get new UCAs on anything over 2.5 otherwise you'll have some alignment issues
