I have shopping around for prices to do the lift and tire install on my JK. I have called Five people so far.

Camper Bobs in 08048 - camperbobs.com/-$635- lift install,
alignment, tires, spacers everything-2 days. 1 day for install one day for
adjustments
( previously have done a 2.5 inch lift on my TJ 4 yrs ago)

American truck center in 08097--$475 lift install alignment, tires, spacers- one day for install

Jeeperz 4wd in Pa-10841 jeeperz4wd.com
$885- all the same services as above

OK 4wd- ok4wd.com/ in 08886- $850

My buddy has offered to do it and he just did his lift on his 2 dr jk(for the first time) and is willing to help me do it. He has a hydraulic lift and just about everything i need to do it. I'm just scared of the Jeep being "off" after the lift install. I don't have the expertise to make my the adjustments I need to make it perfect.

So what I have a 2009 4 door sahara. I bought a 3 inch teraflex(basic) with the Tera wheel spacer(1.25) and Bilstein 5100s for the front and rear and a matching Steering stabilizer. I have chosen 35 inch Coopers STT's for my tires that I will mount on my powdercoated stock 18's.

I just dont know what to do. SHould I have a shop do it? Should my buddy and i attempt it? Don't know but I have about a week to figure it out.

Let me know what you think. This is my first post by the way, pretty exciting!

 

Install it yourself...... you will appreciate your JK more that way!

 

I'll second that. Not to mention you will learn a thing or two.

 

Thx for the reply, I would love to do it my self, learn and save some money. I'm just worried about any complications. I think it will be fun though and I really want to do it myself but I have never done it and I didn't know what to expect. My buddy has done his at least so he is gonna be a great help. As soon as my spacers get here I'm gonna get started, I will let you all know how it goes. Thx for the advice

 

There really isn't much to mess up!! Put it together yourself, and drive it to get it aligned. If he just did his, the principles are the same for a 4 door!

 

Why get it aligned when you can do it yourself?

Not to mention there really shouldnt be anything that needs to be aligned when installing a basic kit.

 

I'm convinced, I will do it myself. I just have to wait for my the last of my stuff to come, Still waiting on the shocks and the spacers. I appreciate the help, I'm about as green as you get with the JK. I will post some pics when we get done with it.

 

Finished product!

 

pics did not work

 

Ideally try and install it yourself or maybe try and host a meet up with food.

Its empowering to learn about how it all goes together, etc.

But if you're really short on time and have the extra $ to spend - I'd recommend either No Excuses in New Egypt or OK4WD. Both have been reliable for me.

PM me if you have any questions.
