Most of us have installed our own suspensions, including ifs, and have wired our own lights so I'm sure there'd be people down to help, including myself. Just a thought if you want to try to save some money

Both myself and WK put our lifts in over a weekend in the parking garage. Most of the shops around here have a bad reputation, or are just mediocre, and none specialize in off road vehicles. I was told that since I had adjustable CAs some shops might not service me. Doing your own work isn't as hard as it seems, its really just a big puzzle of parts and if you take your time isn't that bad. Plus, when you break down on the side of the highway after blowing out your rear end you'll know what to do!
