Hey Guys its Rachael,

I have a lift and I'm DYING to put it in. I purchased it about a month and a half ago. I bought 2 new front struts and a 3.5" RK lift with two rear Skyjacker Nitro shocks.

I have never done this before, so if you know how to do it, I would LOVE it if you came, and if i haven't met you before this will be our first meet and greet! FYI you can just come for the company as well!

There will be chips and drinks for you guys to enjoy yourselves. We will be doing this at my house in Long Island (specifically Huntington). If the location changes I will put it up here ASAP.

If any of you own floor jacks with jack stands it would be AWESOME if you brought them along too!

Alright Thank you soooo much guys! I'd really appreciate it if you came :]

Next thing you know we'll all be on the trails :JEEPIN:

Happy Jeeping!! (I tried to make a KK, came out pretty crappy :/)

I'd love to have the practice on your Liberty first before I put a JBA on mine :goink:

But sorry, Alaska is a bit far.

I am totally there. What day you plan on doing this? I'm installing my new CV sometime this week. Any time during the week I'm free. My schedule during the week is flexible. I have a bottle Jack and two Jack stands . If I can't make it yo can definitely borrow them. Let me know. You have my number. It's better to text/call me

And Alaska isn't THAT far, lol

Of course! But not from my backyard. I have to get a little bit of height first... 'bout eight feet.

At about sixteen feet I can see the Country of Africa :ROTFL:



Calgary was nice. I drove through it and then Banff and Jasper. The Yukon was an exercise in staying awake driving through 500 miles of fog though.

That would be totally awesome if you came :] Its going to be on a Saturday unfortunately. I get out of school at 4 on Friday an I'm waiting for a friend to get out at 6, so that will be too late to even start it. So I figured Saturday morning around 10 (Nov 6th). If no one is coming I don't think I'm going to do even though I've been putting it off for weeks.... i want as many ppl as possible. so Dean let me know...

Hey Rachel
Don't know how I missed this post, guess cause I hang in the kj section more often.
I would love to help out but my work schedule sucks on my new film. I usually work nights on Saturday so it may be a possibility I could come by and help out before I have to go back into the city for work. I will have to see how it works out. I have helped jeepin it real with his kk lift so I do have some experience with it. If it was a Sunday I would be able to help longer, but I know how it is... You gotta do it when you can. I have two stands and a bottle jack as well as straps and sockets and tools. But again i would have to leave early due to work. I guess I will keep my eyes on this post to see what you decide. Looking forward to another lifted liberty on the isle!

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you can use a spring compressor for the front struts.. :?

you use an air compressor for the front struts and a spring compressor for the spring after putting the strut in...
