Default Not the same ol'e lift question

I just called a local offroad place, and they quoted me $1600 for a 4in skyjacker lift which he roccomended that i dont go much higher than that, he also said that would fit 33's comfy, but i want to put at least 35's if not 37's on the JK what size lift would you guys reccomend for that, and i was also looking at some MT Baja claws, but they seem so expensive...any recomendations on the lift/tires...thanks in advance for the help..

Dude first off that is a rediculous amont for that lift...second that lift will easilt fit 35s and maybe 37s with some slight trimming. I got that same lift through nwt noline for $850. do some checking around b4 you waste your hard earned money.

I just noticed you were in Va Beach. If you would like to check out how your Jeep will look we can get together and my buddy has the same lift on his Jeep he's running 37"S

Waaaaay too much for that lift. If you're gonna spend that much, save a little more and go with someone w/ adj parts such as Full Traction.

yea way to high a price, at that price i would hope atleat installation is included, but i wouldn't pay it......and i am running 37s with 4in with 3/4 inch spacer,with minor rubbing..... i had 35 on a 10 wide wheel no problems...

now my wife has a rustys 3.25 lift cost 550 plus shipping, only thing needed with that lift was swaybar links....rides awsome, and fits 35s with a 10 wide rim minor rubbing, if i had to do it again i would get 8in wide rims and would not have any prob with rubbing....and it took about 2.5 hours to put on....shoot me a pm.....i am in virgia beach, see if i can help you put the lift on before i transfere to mississippi
