Hey if there is anyone in the area that may have a little free time I could use an extra hand. Having a hell of a time getting my brakes bled after installing the line extenders for my lift.

I can help. I'm busy through 3p and have a 7p phone call but holes before / after 7p can work or there's tomorrow aft/eve.
edit: I have assorted bleed tools as well

I highly recommend putting speed bleeder valves on the calipers. Makes bleeding very easy. All my vehicles have them.

Ditto that. Well worth the $5 investment.

Well sounds like that's an overwhelming amount of support for them and relatively cheap so I'll pick them up. Jim is nice enough to assist with the process so hopefully we can get it knocked out shortly.

Napa and Advanced Auto both have them for fairly cheap.

Update...
We went with conventional two-person brake bleed. The first three wheels showed no difference in pedal firmness though all wheel cyls had air. Several pumps of the last cylinder found the pedal going from terrible to great. An around - the - block test drive seems reasonable.
My impression (from being at the rear wheel cyls) - it's GREAT to work on a two year old CLEAN and UN-RUSTED vehicle!
