    Lift installs around Austin...who do y'all like?

    Not really a lift. More like shocks and a set of coils.

    Just look at the build thread
    I know this is a Tacoma forum but I know there's some Jeep fans here so I figured I'd post. If anyone is looking for a second vehicle, a vehicle for your wife, etc, my sister is now working at Don Davis CJD at I-30 and Collins in Arlington. She just started and is looking to sell her first car. She's in the pre-owned building but can sell you brand new vehicles as well. Just ask for Bailey! She'll hook you up!

    Friend of mine had his lift installed at 4x4works in mckinney, he said they did a good job. I might take mine there when my lift comes in.

    Thinking about doing a spacer lift. Don't off road much and when I do, it's not hard core. Looking for some extra height and larger tires.

    As long as its not a drop bracket lift, whenever you do order one and decide to install, hit me up. I live around Tyler and have installed 4-5 different suspension lifts on my own truck and even a drop kit one time.
    If its just a couple people we could have it knocked out in a few hours. If its a big group then it'd probably take all day with all the BS-ing that would happen lol!

    Let me know whenever you're ready and I'll come help ya out and we can install it in your driveway. I'll be off work from mid december-mid January.

    For a spacer lift? Yep. Just basic sockets and wrenches.

    Easy peasy!

    Lift truck, remove wheels, unbolt coilover(IIRC they are 15 or 17mm), unbolt upper control arm from spindle(17 or 19mm) , remove coilover, bolt spacer down onto CO, reinstall it all back together. Then take it to get an alignment the next morning.
