what would one expect to pay to have a lift kit installed? 3 inch lift if it matters

 

Depending on the Kit, $800.00 or more. Papabear

 

For me, dealer installed= $900

 

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.

 

guys i do my own work, have been 4 years. i have done a few of my close friends jeeps here and now my name has gone out and i have a full month worth of requests for installs. the shops around here don't want to have anything to do with lifts and the ones that do ask 100 and hour. really just wanted to see what the average price was. thanks

 

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.
