Looking to lift the jeep soon and put some wheels and tires on it. Would rather just drop it off somewhere than do it myself, even though I've heard its rather easy, not sure I have all the tools needed anyway.

Anyone had a lift done or know a good place around the northshore that would be good?

What are you putting on the Jeep?

I did my install myself. Never did so before hand so I had a friend come over and help. Not too hard just took some time. I learned a lot however. I installed the Terraflex 2.5" coil lift with Bilstein shocks. The front coils was tricky with the terraflex bumpstop. Later I added a .75" coil spacer myself. Not hard, but again just took a little time and the front was tricky.

I wish I would have gone with the RK 2.5 lift instead of the Terraflex. RK gives a little bit more lift before you have to get into changing out other items.
I even got the TF 2.5 lift for the 4 door that gives the most lift out of the product

looks good man!

what else did you have to change? I am thinking of maybe just doing the budget lift that just puts spacers on the top of the coils. not sure if i will have to change anything else or if I can just buy the lift and slap it on

you have 35" tires? are the wheels offset or using a spacer or anything?

You will have to excuse the mud, its a Jeep. But this is mine with a 2.5" Terraflex with the fenders cut. Gives a couople more inches for clearance

ETA: Do the lift yourself. You will learn a lot and it really isn't that hard to do. I installed mine and it was the first one I ever did.And the money you save you can buy more Jeep mods. or gas....

Mine is an auto w/ 3.73's. Not bad really. I turn the overdrive off when I hit the interstate.
