Help install lift kit near Raleigh

[Robb3369]

I'm looking for someone to install a new 2.5 rubicon express lift kit on my 07 JKUS... I can help, but lack the airtools and lift/jacks to safely do it. Somewhere around Raleigh/Durham area would be great. Plan on ordering and getting lift in next week or so.

Thanks!

I could help you install it for no charge. PM me. I live in Sanford.

Awesome offer! Waiting on my new wheels/tires to arrive at local DT... I'm trying to sneak a lift into the equation and "blame it" on the 33" tires...

If it's similar the to my lift leveling kit, I'll help too. Strut spacers up front, rear coil spacers in the rear.

I'm looking at the Rubicon Express 2.5" Budget Boost Suspension System with Monotube Shocks after my nire wheels and tires show up next week.. The lift comes with all 4 springs, shocks, rear links, bump stops and the track bar relocation bracket. Just need to find a close by alignment shop so I limp over there and get things all lined up.

With a 2.5 lift you shouldn't need an alignment. Just let me know when your parts come in.

All you need to do on the JK's is re center the steering wheel if you aren't replacing arms.

That's all I had to do. Took all of 5 minutes.

Ok, slight change... Lift kit has been ordered and it will actually be the Teraflex 2.5 with shocks instead of the Rubicon Express. Let the waiting game begin...

Big shout out to @jeepmedic (and his dad) for helping me put new lift on the Jeep...

Headed there early this morning and drove the hell out of it...

Now I need to replace the tire mount... Oops, backed into a small tree and cracked it good turning around at the top of Daniel. The spare sits about 2 inches away from the rubber mounts on the gate which allowed the spare to twist just enough to crack the mount right behind the bolt flange...

Is it weldable?

 

[Robb3369]

I think it's high density plastic... I'm going to pull it tomm and take a look.

 

[Robb3369]

It's some kind of pot metal or something... I did a good job on it...

But I got another one coming thanks to OH9JK... Will have to save pennies for a backup camera or just bungee the next door neighbors kid to the spare.
