Do you have a place to do it? We could do it at my office (covered and flat surface) on a weekend but I need to get my spring compressor from my dad or you can buy it at harbor freight. Its a few hour job but we can knock it out no problem, I have all the hand tools we just need good jackstands and a jack. But for the 150 you were gonna spend you can buy that.

I don't know how much of a hurry you are in but I can probably get my compressor and my stands from my dad next week but he lives in Waco. Jigga and I swapped mid pipes and it went well but we didn't have stands or a real good jack. but dude I'm sure we can dig up stands and a decent jack.
Spring installs are a piece of cake. We can make a mod day of it, I need to install my new rotors and pads.

So you mean the 13th then right? I am changing out my alternator tomorrow but that will only take a second. We could do it at my office but there can't be any shenanigans for liability reasons.
Check it out.

Yeah I have used mine twice but my dad and I do a lot of off roading and so I have used it a few times on other peoples vehicles. But I got divorced and so all my tools are at my fathers shop until I get a house with a garage again.
