Thanks Its been hard looking at all the cnyjeep guys around. I might take you up on your offer. Haven't started any projects yet but soon. Ordring some lift parts this week and should be ready to start working on lifting it in about a month.

Most of the CNYJEEP guys are nice, others well.... Give themselves a bad name. With just a 3" suspension lift/ and my tires I'm sitting taller than most of them. Order your parts from Mark, there great quality and he lifetime warranties them. Start spraying your bolts with some PB blaster if your truck has been in NY it's whole life. Even the sway bar end links in the rear if you add Z71 springs like I did, need to drop the axle as much as possible.

Firestone on old Liverpool road is where to get your alignment afterwards, just make sure John the master tech does it. He was the only knowledgeable person who got my truck damn near perfect, other Firestone in clay said they did all they could to get my camber correct and was a big lie.

Once in a blue moon, at odd times and places. I saw him at the Syracuse boat show 2 years ago, at the Lowes on Rt. 31 in clay last summer and passed him once while driving his summer.
