j auston makes each kit when ordered. It probably takes longer than that to get your kit.

Any chance you got the name of the 3rd party shop(s)? I live in the DFW metro and would like to have a reputable 3rd party option. Happy to PM you if you would prefer?

Sorry for the derail...please carry on...

In NO particular order:
DuSouth Rover
North Texas British
Xerbera

There are plenty of others. Start with these and ask. If other folks have other favorites, please add to the thread.

Ok I am going for it. Finished winch install, light bar, 18 inch wheels, caliper grinding. Ordered the 2inch lift kit and will tackle the subframe lift next.

Should be fun, dropped subframes on BMWs a few times but this will be a new perspective.

On the bright side they said it has a set of instructions included 😉

the 2 inch kit is a whole lot more manageable apparently. I think you will be fine. The 4 inch and up gets a bit crazy

I second @Defendit.. please post some pics/impressions. I think the 2” is in my future provided I can find a shop for it.
