One thing I would never do is pay someone to do it for me. If you have someone to help you thats good but it is to easy to do to pay someone for it. Just let me know when you get started. I will help in anyway I can and I am sure other people will also. This is a great fourm for help.

thanks alot good to know you will help. do you notice the axle shift? iam just afraid il not tight something properly and then my jeep will fall apart while driving hehehe. should i use loctite for the bolts and nuts?
