Would having half the day off on Friday be good?
I forgot I have a training session I have to give this Friday morning to a few people ... yawn ...
I can try to get off around 11:00pm or earlier. (not official yet, I need to check with the boss who is back tomorrow) ... let me know if arriving between 11:30 and 12:00 is good to get your donkey out and mine in...

We're now going to have to find some way to jack up our lifted Libby's Johnny. The stock "scissors" jack that's under the rear seat just won't do it. Here's an interesting link to a webpage that shows how to fab up an adapter to use a HiLift on a Libby. www.cardomain.com/ride/683398/7 |

So where are your pics Johnny? Its already 10:30 AM and we don't see anything yet. Here's mine;      I don't think I've ever seen so many people in Paul's garage working on a single Jeep before. At times there were as many as five of us. The installation of the new front struts was the most difficult job that took the most time. The rear axle installation flew, really. The old shocks & coils simply flew out off of the Libby. I didn't happen to get any "before & after" pics of your Libby but I happen to know a stock Libby sits about thirty two inches from the ground to the bottom of the fender wheel well. My Libby with a 2.5" spacer lift sits thirty four inches high. Johnny's Libby now sits thirty five inches high  sweet. Of course, you can expect the new coils to begin to settle. Looking at the front of his Libby its apparent that the front end needs alignment now. About $50 at a competent garage. Now all you need Johnny is a set of agressive bigger tires to fill the wheel wells. |

At least you didn't have to take the strut apart, compress the springs. I had to use 2 pairs of compressors to get mine together.
