Default Lift quote

So I got quoted $1,600 for a 2.5" teraflex lift, with fox shocks, for my jku. Is that a decent price?

Break it down. Is that $200 for a 2.5" BB and $1400 labor? Or $1400 for a very complete coil lift and $200 labor? Or ...

Teraflex makes a bunch of different versions of their lifts with various options. What components are included? All 8 control arms? Is labor for the install part of that quote? We can't read your mind, break it down. Or post a link to the specific lift.

Right in the range I've seen.
1800.00 - 2400.00 depending on fox vs AEV

Have you looked at Teraflex's website, or any vendor that sells their lifts? Which specific lift kit is this shop quoting? Is it a $450 version? A $750 version? A $1500 version? Unless you tell us what components are included, we haven't got a clue if this shop is pricing it fairly, or trying to rip you off on the labor rates, or whatever. Not sure why that is causing so much confusion...

don't mean to hijack this thread but I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what I would need from teraflex to raise my jku enough to do light to moderate off-roading. No rock crawlin in my future. Teraflex has so many choices makes my head spin. OP prolly doesn't know either.

Like I mentioned in the other thread, I think since you're not climbing boulders you'll be fine with a Teraflex 1.5" spacer leveling kit if you have 295/70/17's. It's good for up to 34" tires and shouldn't cost more than $450 for install including alignment. That's what I did and I have plenty o clearance with my 315/70/17 Duratracs and no rubbing
