The thing is thats all i know. I live in brookly and I dont know any shop will do it. I am totally NOOB. I also don't know what do i need for 2" body lift. Hell, I just don't know any work shop that will do any modification around my area, brooklyn and queens.
Recently, I order
PIONEER P57000 DVD MP3 PLYER ALPINE Type-R SPR-69LP 6"x9" Speakers ALPINE SPR-17LS TYPE R 6.5" COMPONENT SPEAKER PHOENIX GOLD OCTANE-R R8.0:4 800W. 4 CH. AMP KnuKonceptz 4 Gauge 4 Channel Amp Kit Blue/Silver Pair Tan 7" TFT LCD Pillow Monitors - Headrest PAIR OF 7" SUNVISOR TFT LCD TV eDead 1.5 100 sqf map for deadening sound
and 4 Bilstein shocks.
Its gonna cost me 100 bucks for installing shocks. Just called.
and 200-300 dollars for stereo installation at local shop which i am not even sure they are really good at.
I used to mod the hell out of my computers...now i want to do to my car..but i dont have experience nor garage. So it is very hard for me.
If anyone can suggest me a good shop around in Brookly and Queens...please do. Thank you.

The 2" body lift itself is pretty cheap... less than $200 at 4x4parts.com... but it does not come with front bumper relocation brackets.
You have to buy those separately. I think they're $35 or so.
Installation will be your biggest cost if you can't do it yourself. I'd expect to pay $300-$500 for someone else to do it.

At the very least you should be able to do the shocks yourself. There are only 8 bolts after all. I don't even think that I needed to put the X on a jack to do it if I remember right.

If you can do that and turn a wrench then you can install the shocks

I understand why some folks might not be comfortable putting in their own tcase gears, for example). That said, you never have to do it entirely by yourself. Odds are you've got a local Xterra club in your area and they'll probably help you do it for the price of a couple pizzas and some beer. That's true in the SWXC, anyway. We help out new folks who want to learn all the time.

You need to hook up with Oleg...he's in the Bronx (or at least ONE of those damn boro's...), and is the KING of BL's. Plus...he has a shop out there some where... Hook up with NJAX www.njax.net We do driveway mod days all the time...we can knock out a 2" BL in about 3 hrs of work (All day with beer and pizza...)

DO all the stereo yourself, its really easy, If u need me to, I can email u some pics or tell u how to take off the front door panals for the 6 1/2's, and how to remove the panal in the cargo area for the 6x9's, super super easy, also installing the head unit is a piece of cake, I did mine...
