    Default need help installing my lift



    Need help installing my new lift this weekend. I only have hand tools and my jackstands might not be big enough. If anybody has a garage and tools to help with it would be appreciated. I live in Firestone. Can offer food or adult beverages as payment. Thanks

    I have a set of big jack stands you can borrow. I forget whether I have 2 or 4, but they should be plenty tall. I'll check later tonight.

    Sorry, they aren't at my place and I haven't been by the storage yet. I'll let you know as soon as possible.

    I have some taller jackstands. I believe a set of 4 (plus 2 or 4 automotive sized stands). I'm heading to Lyons for the 9am meet for Ironclads - would you want to pass them off at north Longmont or lyons in the morning?

    I appreciate it but looks like I am gonna have to pay somebody to install it. My wife and I are expecting our first child and we need both cars up and running. And if I try and do it with as much as I work my kid will be born before I get it done
