And if you go to Elgin, maybe get a run with the Elgin crowd through The Cliffs Park, down more my way.

Matt,

My brother helped me install my Daystar lift kit. If your spacer kit has instructions, I can help. My install -- almost two years ago -- wasn't that hard, apart from using the manual strut compressor. Even with air tools and impact wrench, it took too long, about 4 hours for the front. Before you do anything, I suggest contacting a small locally-owned garage to arrange for them compress the strut assemblies once you remove them. Schedule the job in advance and you will keep the installation time to about 2-3 hours total.

Depending on how far away you live and how complete your instructions are, I can probably offer some assistance.

TJB
