Default Hoist for rent

Anyone know of a shop in the Richmond Hill area that "rents" use of a hoist for lifting a vehicle? I want to put on a lift kit and this would make the job a lot easier and quicker.

Sorry nope.... What lift you going with and how big.. They aren't that really difficult to do in a drive way or gargae. God knows we've done enough of them in mine.

Yup, nothing. I've actually toyed with the idea of opening a DIY type garage around here. There's one in Hamilton, if you want to drive that far to do it.

I've been toying with the idea of either a 3.5" or 4" Rough Country lift kit. I'm thinking of getting 35" tires with 17" rims. I'm guessing it takes around 5-6 hours??

If you can get 4 jack stands, 2 jacks and a small bottle jack....this install you can do on your own. If you can find a JK'r locally to give you a hand it'll go quicker! Wouold help ya out if I lived closer. Have fun with the lift and take lots of before-in progress-after pictures!!
