i'd love to, if i knew how. i just dont have the time or patience to do it myself. i gotta get it all done in a day- level, wheels, tires, and alignment

check Off Road Warehouse as well. The one in San Marcos has a good staff and knowledgeable installers.

I second 4wheelparts

its not that hard to do it your self.

I replaced my whole suspension in about 4 hours......with NO power tools. It's only nuts and bolts.

I think putting together IKEA furiture is more confusing.

Some spacer kits are very simple and some arent. It all depends on what that person considers hard. Depending on the spacer, it may go above the coil assembly and some actually go inside the coil assembly requiring a spring compressor. If you have never used a spring compressor they can be tricky and actually deadly if not used properly. I have seen a compressed spring shoot out of one and blast a hole through a wall in a building. If you dont know how to do it and are not confidant doing it yourself then have a professional do it. If you want to save a few bucks maybe someone here can lend you a hand in exchange for some beer!

haha- thanks guys.

actually i'm not paying for it so it's no skin off of my back

being that money is not the issue (normally it is for me!!), i do want to make sure it gets done right, and i'm getting the alignment done, too.

shiiiiiiiiii... we can still grab beers when it gets done!

well hell, if you aren't paying for it why just go with a leveling kit, go with a lift kit instead! haha...j/k
