Oh, please don't send your Jeep to a shop just to have a 3" lift installed. If you can, please try to find a local club to help you install it yourself. Hell, if you lived in SoCal, I would help you install it for FREE and I know there are plenty of other Jeepers who would do the same. The knowledge you would gain is invaluable and you won't regret it.

Here, read through my write-ups below and see for yourself how easy it is to do:

3" Suspension Lift Installation Write-Up
2.5" Budget Boost Installation Write-Up

Don't have the right tools, trust me, you can buy them for a fraction of the cost of a shop installation and you will get to use them over and over again

I totally agree. Lift installs on on Jeeps have got to be one of the easiest mods you can make to any of these things.

I have a friend who has a 4wd shop and he has been quoting $200 for a budget boost, $300 for a 3" lift with shocks and no arms, and $500 for a complete kit. His shop labor rate is $60/hr.
