standard lift? I'd say $500 at a shop. a 1.75 of Jim Beam if you lived closer to me.

There outta be somebody within a couple hrs of you willing to help you out, do it yourself or with help if possible. You'll learn more about your jeep that way, instead of having to run to a shop for something minor that you coulda already fixed. I think with that lift at a shop 4hrs MAX price depends on their labor rate.

Spend your money on jackstands and tools to do the lift. There is nothing to it. Really simplest thing I have ever done. Just take your time.

What ever you do, dont go to a Jeep dealer. Since I live in a townhome I do not have the luxury of a garage so I just asked since I know they do lift new jeeps. They wanted 900 then to align came out about 1000. So I am getting some friends together and doing it myself. I have lifted trucks in the past just didnt feel like doing it this time......they changed my mind. But there are shops out there that could do it for 600 out the door. Just gotta look around.

Is it the economy, ultimate, long arm? what 3"??? The economy kit may go on in the driveway in 3 or 4 hours. If it is the Long Arm it may take a day or two. lol

Join and post up in the NorCAl section. There are about a dozen regulars around the Bay Area. I think PeepJeep lives in The City. MBATF aka Alpha Expedition lives in Berkeley. We'll help you out.
