looks like a sky jacker lift with shocks and with dual steering shocks... 750ish
rims 750ish
tires 35's mount and balance 1800ish
front bumper with winch 800ish
assume rear bumper with tire carrier... 1000ish
thats for starters....

cheeper
budget boost... no steering shock replacement 350
rims and tires are what they are unless u find someone getting rid of a set
same with bumpers

good luck cuz it never ends
by the way welcome to the forum......if you cant find the info here it doesnt exist

forgot its a rubicon depending on the year and milage.. i paid 30000 for mine in april this year its a 2010 it had 18000miles and both tops bone stock...

From the "looks" of it, it could be anywhere from $4,000-$5,000 (my best guess). But let's just say- EXPENSIVE!

I just put 11K into my '12 JKUR which includes tax and labor

New Mopar soft top
Cobra 75 CB
RK 3.5 Extreme lift All adjustable
5 New AEV Pintler wheels
5 New BFG 35" Tires
AEV Pro Cal
New rear tire carrier and lock
Tom Woods front drive shaft
Bilstien shocks
EVO undercarriage protection
Mount, balance and alignment
Front gussets

Some other stuff that I can't think of...

Figure about 15K if you want front and rear bumpers and winch.

If you listen closely you can hear the all too familiar sucking sound of money leaving your wallet

I wanna play
Just the "look" I say $3.5k on the low end.
If there's anything done underneath could be as high as $8k plus... That's gears, driveshafts, lockers if non rubi, etc.

If you want to do it right...easily $6K.

If you want to have a mall driver, you could probably get aways with $3-4.

I just did mine with the following:

Full Traction 3" Long Arm kit
Bilstein 5100s
RE Front Drive Shaft
Gears front and back
new wheels with 35s
gussets and sleeves on the front axle
All installed: $7K

I still need a tire carrier for the 35 - $500 minimum
Need to get skid plates - $500 ish
bumpers front/back - $1K

Don't even want to get into lockers/new housing for the front/rear.


It doesn't end....

Why just have look that way? If you build it or rather upgrade it, do it in steps so it don't hurt as much. Looks can be done cheap but to have function on trails is what will cost you. Right now I am doing cheap cosmetic things to make mine but I have wheeled it, it did well n I only have a stock 12 sport. Saving for sliders then to beef up front axle before I lift n add 35s. Then from there is lockers n gearing.

Meh. Just pay $1500 for a good winch and bumper. I would take the factory m/t than those larger a/t tires anyday.
