I'll make it easier for the two interested members. If you go to Ohio, I will bring a couple of cases of beer so you only bring the pizza. I want to see a lift done before I decide if I want a lift.

We don't drink beer and install lifts, sorry we're highly trained pros, can't let beer cloud our judgements

now maybe afterwards when the real work is done we can relax and drink a few or more! :wink:

I'll def keep that in mind

.

I've noticed some sites say you need a strut compressor to install the kits, Such as the 2.5 rancho. Are special tools really needed?

Lift partys here in Ohio are when someone needs lifted we all get together and help do it, some teach, some learn others stand around and do nothing! :lol:

Hmm awfully tempting to drive 12 hours to save 500ish dollars. Would you or any other Ohio'ers be up to helping out a newbie from out east?

Ha, gas, pizza and beer and road munchies...you may only save a little but the experience will get you a lot!

Unless you buy one of th preassembled spring /shock units like Frankenlift, you'll need to borrow a spring compressor or pay a shop to do it (take spring/shock units out and take to shop). Impact tools are nice but not necessary.

Yore only about 5 hours from me, but unless yo wait until the end of January I cant do anything for you. Sorry way too busy during the Holidays. But.. if you need quality work besides mine, take it to Mr. Mud. the Ohio Team will have that done in under 3 hours Done Right

Honestly I can't do it until springish. I'm currently swapping colleges, which is turning out to be expensive and not so simple :banghead:

. So I'm more looking at the April timeframe, but i'm trying to buy the kit\materials now and just keeping them in storage until I'm ready to drop the money to either install it or go on a road trip to learn something and hopefully have a great time and meet some people.

The soonest I could consider installing it would be March 19th (Spring break!)

Hey, that's less than three months away and the weather should be warmer.

TexasRock, I was a jumper. My last static line jump was almost seven years ago in Salerno DZ.
