I just purchased my new 2012 JKU Silver sport with 23 miles on it....traded in my 05' TJ. Now I'm ready to install lift, tires/rims, gears. Anyone know of a reputable shop in the san diego area besides ORW? I got a quote from them and it just seems a little high.

4200$ for parts and labor

4" teraflex lift and 4.56 Superior gears.

Anyone know of a better deal?

Thanks.........and btw, I LOVE my new JKU!

 

If I were you I'd head up to Fullerton and see Mel at Off Road Evolution, he'll set you up right.

 

Stay away from 4wheel parts as well!! They suck ass!!

 

Talk to Jared at the kerny mesa location on Balboa...he is a straight shooter.

 

I second that one. They are junk!

 

I actually have good expeirance with 4wheelparts, Micha at the el cajun store always done right by me.

 

That quote actually seems correct. $2600 for the 4" suspension w/full flex arms from Terafkex is $2500 from Northridge 4x4.. Gears and labor to install, prob $1200. That's $3700 right there. Plus labor to install the suspension kit, let's say $70 per hour. Terafkex instructions say 8 hrs. Let's be conservative and say 6 hrs. Thats $420 to install the suspension. Your at $4,120 now. Plus labor to mount and balance the tires. Let's say $80. Now your at $4200. Sounds about right. Sure you could travel a bit and find gears for cheaper, but that $70 per hr labor is about what shops charge. You'll be hard pressed to get done what your asking for, for $3500 unless you buy the parts and DIY.

 

Sounds like a straight price to me. I also agree, Jarod at ORW will take care of you. He has done all my work.

 

Micha is only looking for the next dollar. He's a sales guy. And a damn good one at that.

 

I don't have a problem with that as long as the work is done at a good deal. He is actually a thorough salesperson and knows his products. I employ sales people and the ones that are vague and always need to get back to you with the answer are the ones that fail.

Again, every once in a awhile every company has a lemon.. can never satisfy every one.
