I'm sure this may seem simple to most but I just got my teraflex leveling kit and am bound to screw something up doing it solo so I would definitely be interested in some help even if it means heading down to Champagne. Anyone?

Talk to Dirtman. I just moved to Champaign from the burbs north of chicago. Hes a super nice guy and his shop is awesome, and it doesnt hurt that he knows what he is doing. I live bout 10 minutes from him.

I'm having an impromptu mod party at my house this weekend with a few of the chicagoland guys. We're already doing one teraflex leveling kit. You're more than welcome to join us.

I did both in my Garage. They aren't that hard to do. Snorkel was easy, the hardest part was just actually cutting into the hood. The lift, hardest part was the part that wasn't in the box that I had to wait for to be shipped from the manufacturer.
