Off Road Evolution is in Fullerton and I would go to them if you really can't do the install yourself. But, I really would recommend that you at least give it a look to see if you can. Here is a write-up I've done that will help you out:

Wow Excellent write up Eddie, i think i might tackle this myself. It looks pretty straightforward and i think it would be good so i can get to learn my rig a bit. Also considering i was quoted $440 to install plus $95 for an alignment. BTW Is an alignment necessary after installing the bb? How long would it generally take to install the bb?

That's your best bet man, I just recently installed a Teraflex 2.5 inch coil lift and it took me and a friend the better part of a day.

^^^ agree.
OP i would try and tackle it yourself. it should only take a few hour at least if not a better part of the day to do it since it will be all new to you

It really is the best way to get to know and understand your vehicle and how the suspension works.

how difficult would you say it is? i mean i have general knowledge but never got up under my JK and looked at the components. Now to figure out how to keep the wife busy for majority of the day!! :thinking: LoL

^^^ agreed with a basic lift you only need a couple hand tools at the most, (mostly 19mm) pluse it is a very good way to learn your rig! as for an alignment, depends if you are changing draglink and such yes if not you should be ok without one, there is also a write up on how to do it yourself (its pretty much just getting the wheel stright as you are not messing with your tie rod)!
Here is a link to my DIY front end alignment write-up:

As you will see, unless you install new adjustable components, the only thing you can do is recenter your steering wheel. Due to the steering system design, there will be no need to touch your toe. Caster and camber cannot be adjusted.

noticed your running the teraflex 2.5 and the bilstein 5100 shocks! that's what i am going to install! how do you like it? i was in between the bilstein 5100 and the fox 2.0 but went with the bilstein.

i like the bilsteins a lot. the smooth out the ride of the teraflex coils a good amount.

I know you're down in OC but if you're willing to drive up to Apple Valley I'd be more that willing to give you a hand. I have all the tools necessary for the install. Plan on a day but we could prob have it done in 4-6 hours. Then we could go try it out after...
. I did the complete install on mine it took me quite a bit longer because mine is a long arm lift. I'd agree you learn so much about your jeep when doing it yourself.
