A lady that I work with just stopped by my desk and asked if I knew of any places around here that will install a lift kit into a Wrangler. Her husband has a 2005 TJ that he bought a lift kit for almost 2 years ago that is still sitting in boxes in the basement. He's decided that he doesn't have time to do it so they are looking to pay for somebody to install the lift for them. Is there anybody here that wants to make a little side money or does anybody know of a place that will install it? My classes finish up the 2nd week of July so I told her that we could probably do it as a club if he wanted to wait a little longer. What's 6 weeks when the kit has been sitting around for 2 years already. If there is somebody that is confident in their wrenching skills that has the time there is an opportunity.

I would help, lets do it as a fund raiser for the clubs insurance.

That's a great idea, but...Where would we do it, who's tools, ect..
Roger, what kind of lift is it, body or suspenion?
I'm sure I could get rid of the wife and have the whole garage for a day!
Just not sure how many would come out to my place to help.
-
Jody thinks that it's a 4" suspension lift, but she wasn't really sure. I'll ask her about it tomorrow and get some more details. If we have more than 3-4 people we'll end up with some just sitting around so I don't think we'll have a problem getting enough people out to your place.

my garage; i've done a YJ lift kit here before. Got the space and plenty of tools. Extra jacks might be useful, though.

I brought 4 regular sized floor jacks and 2 really tall frame jacks back from Michigan with me this weekend. I can bring them anywhere we need them.
-
I'm in for helping, if one of the days we do it falls on my days off
-
I am willing to help. Of course I am doing it for the experience and knowledge I would gain.
-
my garage is up for grabs too.
-
I talked to her the other day and told her $200 for us to install the lift. She said that would be great. She was going to bring in the directions so I could what kind of lift it is, but she forgot. I'll keep reminding her and we can set a date in July to get it done. Looks like we have plenty of garages to choose from.
-
ive done 4 lifts, zj, tj, yj, xj... im down to help if you need the help
-
She stopped by my desk on Thursday and it looks like this will be a TJ 4" lift kit installation from Superlift. She had two sets of directions and one set was specifically for the control arms so I'm pretty sure it will have new control arms to mount. We just have to set up a weekend to do it.

How do your schedules look for Saturday, July 31st? I'm out of town this coming weekend and then we have Mohawk the following so I'm thinking we could do this the 31st of July or the following Saturday. We've had several offers for garages so we just need one and a few people that are available.
-
Works for me.
-
Both Saturdays are good for me
-
I know there are several of us fixing our own junk this weekend so can we get a volunteer to host a lift kit installation on a TJ on Saturday, August 7th and get 3-4 guys to help do the work? It will be $200 for our club account for buying insurance and getting onto some private properties in the area.
-
I have a couple of jack stands and a cordless impact gun if needed.
-
Im down for saturday, i have room and all the tools to do the lift. if there is a location set then never mind but i am up for helping out and bringing some coil compressors and other tools

That works for me since I think Rock is still working on his Jeep in his garage and Nate has a garage full between his XJ and his roommates MJ. Where are you located? It sounds like Will and I will be there. Is anybody else going to be able to help?
-
its possible ill be able to help but its prob going to be a last minute thing, ill let ya know
-
saturday is all set on my end... we can either pull it into the garage/ at the foot of the garage, or at the end of the driveway. fair warning its not the same as nates area but we have done many lifts at my place. all we need are a few more jack stands and another set of coil compressors. we have 2 pairs we may need more
-
Sorry Guy's,
I'm out for Saturday, Family stuff

Ok so I have come to the realization that I forgot my address, 29 Devonshire drive Waterford ct
-
I just talked with Sarah. Tom will have his TJ over by 9:30-10am and will assist/watch the lift kit installation. It looks like we'll have 3-4 of us there, but all are welcome to come help or at least cheer us on.

-
How did the lift go sry I couldn't stay longer.
-
Done...... :-[
-
it was fun but it took way to long, well in terms of how long a lift takes.
-
Mike, thanks for hosting this at your place and for all of the hard work from you and your dad. I wish I didn't have to bug around 3pm. I would have much rather been wrenching.
-
