Default Resale Value

I'm just trying to plan ahead in the event I may have to sell my 07 Rubi. It might not come to that but I like to try and cover all possibilities ahead of time. Due to a long dry spell, then Fay dumping 6 1/4" of rain on us in 2 1/2 days, we have wound up with a sink hole against our house and water in the basement. It appears I'm looking at a LOT of money for the repairs. Yeah, life gets in the way sometimes!
My question to you all is will my 07 Rubi 2dr. have a better resale value with the current lift on it (see below) or if returned to stock? Some of my friends say stock. Their reason is that most people will see the lift and think it's been wheeled and abused and would be less likely to give more for it.
Like I said, I'm just thinking ahead, and it might not even have to happen.
Let me know your opinions.

There was a story on Yahoo last week about the vehicles with the best resale value.The Jeep Wrangler was 4th on the list for the best resale value.I don't recall who put the article out.

In my opinion i wouldn't bother going through the work of removing it. Some people may not buy a lifted Jeep for different reasons and others might see it as already having some of the mods they are looking for.

You could always try to sell with the lift, and see how it goes. Don't expect the lift to add any value though.
