Default another.....Free Beer and Pizza time....

So I wanna pick up some LT Pacesetters..... but I don't want to pay the outrageous install price so I'm see'in if there is anybody in the Chicago area (within an hour) that would wanna help me out with my LT & Y install. I have never done it before so it would basically be you tellin me what needs to be done or doing it for me.

If anybody is interested lemme know. Preferably someone with a lift or pit.

same here. did mine on jackstands in the garage. had the rear on car ramps and front on stands with a couple 2x4 pads under them. youll probably need a saw zall or die grinder to cut the notch off the block for the driver side. other than that it was a breeze for me. id offer my garage but no floor in it right now (gravel) took me i think 5 hrs total by myself

It might be a good idea to post your location. Within an hour of Chicago is kinda vague.

i didnt even need to cut the notch off the block. i have qtp's i use a rubber mallet and tapped it a couple times (not even hard) and it slipped right in. didnt even scratch them.
