Default Trading in JK (Lifted vs. Stock)

I am thinking about trading in my JK within the next year. I currently have it lifted on 2.5 RK Mod lift, 1.25 body lift sitting on 35's. I don't have to tools or know how to take the lift off. But I have connections if I need to have it removed.

My question is would I be better off trading it in as is with the light mods it has or parting it out?

Thanks in advance

If you are looking for another Jeep then go to Adams Jeep in Aberdeen,Md. They sell lifted Jeeps new and used so you would get a pretty decent trade there. ( I know I did ) They also have a Chevy dealership.

A dealer won't give you much, if anything, extra for a modified Jeep.

If you have all your stock parts put them back on the Jeep.

Then list all your mods for sale here.

Ask a dealer the value with the mods vs without. Depending on the number I may be interested in your lift and tires. I'll even do the swap.
