Default Best Lift Shop in Phoenix Area

Was hoping to get some suggestions of a good place to take our JK Unlimited.

We purchased it used and it has a Teraflex 3" (i believe) lift. It was originally our play toy but has become my wifes DD.
The handling is very poor for a DD so was hoping I could take it somewhere to get it dialed in better.

Here is what I do know about it.

JK Unlimited Rubicon
3" lift
35" Terra grapplers on 18" rims -tire pressure 28 psi.
lower adjustable control arms front and back.
adjustable front track bar.

Caster 6.8*
Toe .11*

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hey Tim,

You should post up in our local phx thread in the staging area. I live in Chandler but I cannot personally recommend a shop because I am a cheap ass and do the work on my jeep myself. Here is a link. Welcome BTW.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to check out that other thread and see if I can figure it out. I wish I could do it myself but honestly don't know where to begin. I've been reading up on rear track bar bracket and drag link flip kit but not sure if this is what I need. Would really like to find a place that is knowledgable and just get it done so the wife will get off my arse.

With that caster, handling should be pretty good. Im guessing you have issues with bumpsteer at that ride height. I would highly recommend a synergy flipped drag link and axle side track bar bracket. As for shops, try cutting edge 4x4 in north phx. Theyll take care of you.

If you bring the parts in, you could have 4WP on Broadway and Country Club in Mesa do the install for you.

Just talked to Casey at cutting edge. Think I'm gonna make the trek up there. He was very helpful.

Thanks again D_engel
