Default ADVICE! I need a good place that installs lifts!

im about to buy a Rough Country 2.5 coil lift and was going to take it to 4 wheel parts and have them install it. but they said if its a brand they dont sell, they cant install it

which i understand

but is there any other good shops to have this done
thanks

Call Gerry Pifer at Screamin Lizard in Bedford. I bet they get it done in a few hours, and done right.

iphonekid!! what's up man?

Are you sure you wouldn't wanna try to install it yourself? Maybe get some buddies together or something? It's not hard at all, only takes a couple of hours...but if you decide to let a shop do it, I wouldn't pay more than about $200 labor..if that much.

btw, you can check out the forum from your phone at http://www.jk-forum.mobi/
.....very cool, I do it all the time!

LOL, yeah I didn't think about that. Well, do what u gotta do then man! I do know that a local shop here quoted me $250 for labor to install some 1.75" spacers about a year and a half ago....I figured I'd give it a shot and try it myself and I was done in less than 2 hours. Hopefully you can find a shop that'll treat you right....good luck!!

Use this as a learning experience. Get a group of guys that have done it before and let them show you how.

You will see how easy some of this stuff is and it will eliminate alot of your fear and allow you to become more intimate with your Jeep. then you will likely start doing other upgrades yourself. If you want something done right - do it yourself.

That said - Gerry at Screamin Lizard is awesome and if there is something out of my knowledge base or is just too much to tackle I will only take to him. nobody else touches my Jeep.
