welcome! I'm from Ridgefield, CT bout an hour and a half from New London. I would love to have a mini-meet, i'll bring all my tools and would be more than happy to give you a hand on the lift kit. Also just a word of caution, I bought cheap coil spring compressors on ebay if i was you i would buy them off of autozone. Many members here have said they used the ones from Autozone and were very pleased with their durability.

Once there is a date set I can let you know if I can make it or not... Have a couple weekends free in June for the most part. Is this going to be at your place now? I know there was talk on the OS of a lift meet at Dizzles...

im not sure waht dizzle is up to, no one on the OS was activley engaged on wanting to be a part of this project. i live in apartment complex so i dont have the area to do it in, but im willing to travel to someones place if they have a garage with jacks and jack stands that we could use.

I think it just died down since there is no set in stone date yet... Hard for people to plan. And I don't personally have much tools or a place to work (also live in an apartment), but I use my dad's tools/compressor/ect. Wouldn't really want to take to much stuff or host a meet there... But I'm willing to lend a hand if I'm free.

yeah so i guess i will gather the rest of the stuff and then pick a date and put it on both sites and try to get as many people as possible for a mini meet. maybe i can get in touch with dizzle and see if we can still use his place.
