Post subject:  Long Island KK Lift
so i will be lifting my KK... I'm pretty new to this whole thing so i might need some help or have questions... any long island guys care to help me out :D

i'm doing a rock krawler lift ( doing front and rear bilstein shocks, I'm also doing JBA UCAs...... i'll eventually switch over to JBA 2.5" springs and maybe even do the full spring lift but its a start

while i have the thing apart i might bang the pinch weld down a bit too ( maybe trim it???) since i have a little rub, the lift should fix it but i'd still like a bit more clearance.

any tips/feedback would be helpful... even if anyone knows of any good shops just in case i cant do it myself... thanks

Im between Patchogue and Bethpage.

Do you have all the needed tools for the install? Do the front shocks and struts come preassembled?

Just saw this thread, I haven't been on the board in a while..
I'm in Queens, work in Hicksville/Westbury.
I was at Borello(?) field last week for the Bethpage Baseball little league photos.

I'm always around, more or less, weekends tend to be a little busy. I would've had my lift in this weekend, but sooooo much work.
