Help installing a 3" BL
 
Well, I wasn't exactly sure where to put this thread...so i just put it here in suspension tech

I just bought a 3" summit BL and I was wondering if any of you would be willing to help me install it. I have an 06 fx4

I live in southern Indianapolis, in an apartment complex....so my place wouldn't be the best, but I am more than willing to travel a little ways

I am available basically on all weekends, if any of you are willing to help, please let me know

Thanks....I will supply drinks/maybe a grill and food since I probably won't be much help

I know several body lifts have been done in the Detroit area before and there a quite a few helpful members around. I am willing to help with an install sometime if you find a place to do it at.

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 06:23 PM

Sounds good, I will keep this thread updated if I get some help

Toreador4x4 Sep 21, 2009 06:26 PM

if you can come to my house, in livonia. MI 48152, on saturday september 23rd, we were going to do a BL and it got cancelled....we can do it then. if you look through past threads i have done quite a few of them and we can do them pretty efficiently

sept 23rd? that would be a Wednesday (and short notice haha) but give me an updated date if possible, and that is about a 5 hr drive...I know there are quite a few indiana members on here so I will give it a few days before I give you a definite answer

I do greatly appreciate the offer though

Toreador4x4 Sep 21, 2009 06:36 PM

sorry, the 26th, saturday is what i meant

My91Ranger Sep 21, 2009 06:36 PM

He meant sept 26th as in this saturday. I can help that day as well.

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 06:40 PM

I will let you guys know probably wed or Thursday latest, if thats alright

Toreador4x4 Sep 21, 2009 06:41 PM

thats fine, as long as i know before saturday morning

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 06:44 PM

I will definitely let you know before saturday morning.....thanks again!

Toreador4x4 Sep 21, 2009 06:46 PM

no prob, just a few requests for doing a BL at my house:

1. Please bring a clean truck, inside and out, not like washed and waxed, but no mud or crap inside, no tonneau/campertop/bedcover

2. Please bring cash for Bates burgers, they only accept cash and food for the helpers is a must!

3. Please make sure everything is there in your BL kit so things go smoothly, and READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ATLEAST TWICE!

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 06:51 PM

Truck is clean, bedcover isnt installed yet, will bring cash, and kit isnt opened yet (still in gfs car)

so far so good! haha

0RangerEdge2 Sep 21, 2009 06:57 PM

I'll be there helping too. The MI Bodylift crew is very experienced and we can knock it out quicker than a shop you would pay.

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 07:03 PM

haha man 3 people already.....I will probably end up coming hah

Toreador4x4 Sep 21, 2009 07:03 PM

and it will cost you significantly less than a shop, food, any donation to give the rents for the air compressor and lights being on all day....seems better than 4wp wanting like $800 or whatever

fabioonachopper Sep 21, 2009 07:04 PM

take many pics!!!!

My91Ranger Sep 21, 2009 07:04 PM

Haha yea let us know as soon as possible please, i'm going hunting that weekend and leaving as early as possible.

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 07:05 PM

I will, if I don't have anyone closer by wed I will be making the trip up

Toreador4x4 Sep 21, 2009 07:08 PM

What time would it be possible to be here on saturday? the earlier the better since some of the people arent available later on in the day

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 07:10 PM

I can leave whenever, it will be about 5 hours...but its on your guys schedule not mine hah

Toreador4x4 Sep 21, 2009 07:10 PM

i like to start between 9 and 10, if you left at 5....if that isnt pushing t

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 07:12 PM

haha Ill just have to stay in and try and sleep friday night

0RangerEdge2 Sep 21, 2009 07:14 PM

Trust me it will be well worth it. Justin's humor is well worth the 5 hour drive!

magicballer2001 Sep 21, 2009 07:16 PM

well if nothing else pops up....I will be the judge of that...haha just kidding, you guys seem awesome already
