Someone will recommend a good mechanic in NY/NJ to do my lift? I only know a couple of lazy mechanics that only replace parts the computer tell them to. Hard to find good and reliable mechanics now days. Willing to travel.
Thank in advance.

Take a weekend off an do it in your driveway. Not sure exactly where you're located. I did mine myself in a buddy's shop. Very easy install. |

Have no experience doing lift though, but have a lot of space and a few tools. (no spring compression tool). I might need help but do not ha any friend with mechanical skills. I'll talk to my regular mechanic to see if he wants to do it. Know an old school guy but he BS about putting different parts than factory recommended and is against increasing the tire size..  ha ha. I which i could do it along. Anyway I'll keep lookingThanks |

Yes, plus the bump stops of course. I'll order the Teraflex bump stops from JBA and I was told to I could use hockey pucks in the rear which I ordered already. Hopefully everything will be here in a week or two. Thanks a lot |

I have a question: the coils and shocks will replace the struts?. These struts and shocks were put about 2 years ago. |

You are going to re use the factory top plate and isolators from the stock set up. |

You'll need two per side. |

2 in each side meaning 4 total? Then I need to order 2 more...
