Whats up everyone. I am from N Babylon and I am looking for a place to get my Rockfather suspension installed. I don't really have the time to take it on myself. My only suspension experience is lowering, this is the first time going up! Thanks in advance!!!!

you make the time, and speaking for most of us, we will all come over to help. You just let us know. As for if you want to have it installed. I had my mech. do it but after he did mine I dont think he ever wants to do another one ever again. Besides doing it yourself if fun esp. if you have others there who know how to do. You let us know.

Welcome indeed!

Just out of curiosity how much did your mechanic charge you? I want to get an idea of what somepeople paid so I can see if I am getting fair deals.

He charged me $300 for the install and told me that he got screwed on the deal cause it took way longer then he thought. But with some KJ friends it should go smoother and much cheaper

It took me four hours to do it my self. Would go even faster if you have an extra set of hands.

I am up for it if everyone else is. I should be getting the lift end of this week beginning of next week. E mail me @renegadeant@optonline.net and maybe we can arrange something. Let me know!!!!

Cacher123 · **Posted:** Thu Dec 08, 2005 12:37 am

I'm in too! Let me know.... Thinking of a lift myself, I'd like to see how one goes together.
Oh and RenegadeAnt, shoot a pic and bio over to Sue (NHLiberty) and get yourself listed as a member of the NE group.

Let me know I am seeing if I can use my fathers stuff but he just got the driveway re paved so he doesnt seem thrilled about the idea. Let me know!!!!!!

JeepJunky33 · **Posted:** Mon Dec 12, 2005 2:10 am

bennybmn · **Posted:** Mon Dec 12, 2005 11:41 am

I'm gone this weekend for a party in Mass, and next weekend for xmas in VT with the folks and the following weekend I'll still be in VT with friends.... Man I'm never around! Take lots of pics!!

You are a weekend too late! We just did 3 lifts at jeepinal's yesterday.....but none were mine

. One frankenlift, one modified frankenlift for a CRD, and rusty's coil lift. We had the luxury of working in his awesome garage that fit all 3 KJ's at once and we had propane heat!

I'd be willing to help too, but you happened to pick a very busy (and cold) time of year. Not sure how this kit comes, but if you have the top plates, I'd suggest putting your struts together in the warmth of your house ahead of time. If you wait till after the new year, I can help you out.

Who's garage is this? Cause I'm gonna need a garage when I get my Boulder Bars sometime hopfully this month.

My mechanic in Huntington did my lift. Full Rusty's suspension lift. Was easy. Just like stock. He even did my Clevis for me (twice - don't ask! Stupid dealer mechanic).

Steve Gerhard of Garhard's on Jericho Tpk (631-271-7744) a few minutes east of Rt 110. Tell him Adam sent you. I think he's done two now. As i recall, he charged me $300 for it. Really good guy. Into cars and trucks, not just hacking away.

Then we can all go on a Jamboree together. Check out my thread here.

Seth, you can put the boulderbars on at my house if you like. I should have my new 17' garage door and insulation blown in by the time you get your boulder bars. You buy lunch and bring Adria to keep Aaron company.

LOL deal..... Now I just have to get this ball joint issue sorted out. I think I'm gonna give this guy a call to see if he can do anything about that sound I've been threading about.

RenegadeAnt · **Posted:** Tue Dec 13, 2005 11:26 pm

Well bad news the day I was expecting to get the lift (monday) All I got was an e mail saying that it had just shipped!!!! I placed the order the Moday before!!!!. Oh well. Thanks for all the offers for help. When I figure out what the hell is going on I will let everyone know
