Anywayyyy I am sooo psyched... Now all I neeed is to get some $$ for 35's woohooo

I'd like to help. Selfishly, since I want to get the same 2.5" coil lift and will be looking for help myself! How much did you pay for the lift?

Where are you planning to install it? got lift access?

I got a few ideas...
I have a friend who is skilled with this stuff so I might have him help me... I was also considering letting the pro's do it... heh but since I am on a budget I am likely going to opt for the hands on approach...

Access to a lift might be possiable but might not I gotta work that out...

I paid 766 for everything, so - 120 for the mats roughtly its like 645ish for the lift kit.

You wont need access to a vehicle lift for that lift just a set of spring compressors would make it easier and some common tools. I just threw in a set of 3/4" Spacers which is similiar to installing the lift in the first place since I had to take out the old coils, disconnect sway bar and remove the tires. Took about an hour and a half for the front end with the compressors, they made it alot easier no trying to wiggle or spin the longer coils in, I barely go my stock coils back in partially compressed after I dropped my axle to the limit of the brake lines!
