Lift Install Help: WA State

I'm looking for some guys who would be interested in helping me install a 4" IFS lift just in the front of my 4runner. It's a Pro-Comp Stage II lift. It'll be in a couple weeks starting around the 10th of March when I come back from WSU. I've got an area where we can do it, but if someone has something better let me know. If you're interested let me know and of course I'll provide the Thanks guys!

A fellow cougar...I guess I can't say no to that. March is a really bad month for me but go ahead and ping me when you are getting close. I have spring compressors and other usefull tools I can lend if needed.

Kevin, it'll probably be at the same place as last time. I'm actually living in Mill Creek now when I'm not in Pullman. I'm not sure exactly what day it'll be but I'll keep everybody posted. If anybody else wants to help let me know. Thanks for the quick replies guys

My girlfriends dad has some area between Monroe and Duvall so that's where we will probably do it unless someone has a better place in mind.

He won't need spring compressor to do the front......
He got torsion bar. You gonna need a tie rod/pitman arm puller...I think. It looks like this .
just don't get it from them...it will break. Ask me how I know....LOL

It won't be until about the 10th or so. I won't be back from school until then. I bought the lift used off this board and I think I'm missing a few of the misc. bolts and stuff, anybody know the best place to find that stuff? or anybody want to take a trip with me once I'm back and try to locate all that stuff? I went to Home Depot but had a hard time finding what I was looking for. Thanks again guys.

He has a 93...so the spring compressor is necessary for the rear lift.

Hey guys, just got into town tonight. I'm free all week so let me know what works best for you guys. Also, anybody feel like making a trip to the hardware store tomorrow (Saturday) for the hardware needed? I went to Home Depot a little while ago but couldn't find what I needed. Thanks again guys!
