So I basically have all my lift parts in , ready to be installed. I just need some help getting in on, have no idea what i am doing. Is there anyone who would be willing to help me? I dont have a garage or tools, but what I can make up for that with beer and food! and anything else!

Would be
Front ome/rancho ,clevis lift-clevis spacer, top strut shims,
Rear ome/rancho, 2 upper rear isolators each side, hockey puck mod,

I'll try to see if I can find some time and try to help you out - but... I've never done a lift before, but I'm sure we can figure it out. If you're not keeping them, I'd be interested in your stock springs for the front and rear. Do you have a garage where we could do all the work?

See thats the problem, I dont up here in NY, but I have a garage at home in CT which is inconvenient, but the springs are yours when I swap em. Sucks not having a place to work in up here, nor tools for that matter.

Actually guys, I am going to be redoing my entire suspention in a few SHORT WEEKS AHEAD! I am basicly doing the entire job just to keep OEM. (LONG STORY WHY I AM NOT RELIFTING IT) I have over 150K on the original 03 saggers. I bottom out on speed bumps lately.

I will look at what weekend I will be doing mine and I will give you ample time. It is going to be hard to do like 2 in one day. if any of you other guys know how to do some work on you KJ that will help.
