So, once a few checks drop, I am heading out to purchase 4" suspension, 35" tires/wheels...however, I thought I might reach out to the local area to ask if anyone has any experience in install? I would like to do it myself, with a little help of course...but if not, I think I might take it down to the base auto shop and see what I can do.

Payment in food n' beer if anyones interested, I'd appreciate it.

Kevin

Free beer and food, i'll chip in what I can as well. I have turned a few screws in my time, but have also never installed a lift. Would be a good learning experience.

You and your car, it is sad that you are neglecting your jeep so much lately.

Alright, finally got my tires and lift in...now I am just waiting on the front sway bar and wheels, which should be this week (hopefully.) If everything comes in, anyone available this weekend to maybe help me out...especially the ones with experience. I was looking to do it down at Pete AFB at the auto hobby shop since they have all the tools I would think would be needed...let me know guys.

Thanks, Kevin

I won't have time, now since I am back, the wife is focused hard on house hunting. Need to get that done before I can have any fun. Hopefully soon we'll be done with that and I will have some time to do something.

Hey Sven, any particular area you are looking at for a house?

Would love to find a home in the Cheyenne Meadows area, but we are looking in all the area's around post. I have little enough time with the family so we don't want to move too far away. There are a couple of high crime area's though that we won't move into.

I feel you there. I love it here in the Colorado Center area. It's nice n' quiet, and still not too far away from post. Takes about 15 to 20 min for either gate's 20 or 4 depending on traffic. I think there are a few homes out in this area that are available if you're interested.

Ok, I have to wait anothe week...The wheels I originally ordered are two months out so I decided to go with another style, which means I have to wait (again) until they come in. I'll let you guys know whats going on.

Well, I am off again. Leaving this Sunday probably and heading down to Lackland AFB, TX till January. Looks like I am not going to have time to do any of the mods before I leave which sucks. But hopefully, when I get down there I can find someone to help me out.

Anyways, thanks for help everyone was willing to give up...looks like I will see you guys on the back end.
