Paid $250 for the kit and install at a local offroad shop. Took it to Ford for a $60 buck alignment after. No problems at all in over a year.

I wear a suit everyday as well. As for tools I think we have every tool known to man. My uncle is in the process of restoring an old 911 and he recently finished a 1987 CJ7 with a 350 small block. His pride and joy is a early 1950s corvette, what ever the first year they came out. Two seat convertible with less than 40K miles on it.

well it sounds like your all set then!
yes Im a tool junkie too, bought my first truck when Iwas 15 and im in my 50's now, had many a vehicle I use to own graders and dozers we have 80 acres and 40x60 shop, so I have a lot of tools from those days.....lol.....I moved west, and left that world behind, we still have the shop but its rented out now, Now I have over crowded tool room, I took 2 bed rms in our walk in basement just off the double carport and gutted them and made it my tool room 16x 30, 6 bed rm house so missing 2 rooms is no big deal.,.I was going to do a garage, but then I hurt, and that plan still on hold......lol...but yeah I love to work on stuff, we just sold our 1968 Galaxie Convertible, it was my wife's fathers from new, then got rid of My TJ Sport jeep, and a 1987 chev 1/2ton, my other toy is my 1999 Supercharged GTP Grand Prix owned since new, its my baby...lol. and I have 1988 GMC Diesel 1ton I use for camping hauling my camper and trailers around......but I do miss the sue of my hands the way they use to be before the accident.

Post some pics when your done!!

take care

Grant

Grant all the tools and equipment we have belong to the family farm. The farm as been in the family since 1907. So you can imagine we have collected a lot of stuff. We have an old Cadillac sedan with a diesel motor. Not sue what it is bit will photos of it to share, it was my grandfathers. The farm is now just over 1000 acres. So plenty of room to hunt and play on. The problem with out shop is that people use the tools and don't put them back where they belong. I will probably spend more time looking for the right tools then installing the leveling kit.

I'd never pay that much money for someone to do such an easy task. I'm no mechanic either and with a lift it's easy as pie.

Yeah I understand family farm and a mess is right trying to find tools, my Dad built our shop in 1980 on one of my Mom's homestead properties, and I miss having a big shop, My Dad passed away awhile back and my Mom won't sell it memories mostly hers. So it sits mostly, but still alot of tools in the out buildings and Garages on the property, it only got used for our heavy equipment and when I was a kid lots of Motocross.
when my dad passed i sold alot of the stuff and brought back, mostly my tools and some of his, I need a garage again, but being on disablity has stopped me from moving forward on that project. I miss tinkering on a project., but we have 3300 sq ft house so it has alot of tinkering to do, we have put 120,000.00 into since we bought it then I got hurt and that stopped so as I get better I plan to tinker on that hahahaha and well my truck is almost done, can't wait for my exhaust to come in, see how it is since I added the K&N 63 kit, and I ordered some Husky liner mud flaps for my bushwacker flares, and next week my stereo goes in, I bought my 12' custom fiberglass sub box, so now to install the 2 alpine amps and 4- Infifnty door speakers......
