Wow, after 15 years, I've finally rejoined the Jeep family. Man... I missed it to. Now that I'm back, I'm dying to at least upgrade my shoes on my Freedom Edition. Don't get me wrong... I like the grey stock wheels, but it just doesn't look right without a little height. I have been researching lifts, tires, wheels, etc, and regardless of warranty, feel like I really need to do something ( the wife disagrees..typical accountant) having said that, I'm not mechanical in the least. I wouldn't dare start stripping the suspension and have a driveway full of parts I have no idea what they are even called. The dealer I bought it from wants $1800 for a 3" Mopar lift installed. More for a 4" I'm just looking for a 2.5" lift, so I can fit some 35's. anyone in the Southern Tier of New York know of a 4x4 shop reputable enough to do the work I want to do? Been looking at the Teraflex 2.5 coil lift... Doesn't look like a tough install...but then again, not sure I dare start taking it apart. Any help is greatly appreciated.

See you on the trails in 5 years when this beast is paid off! ( had the luxury of burying my brand new TJ in a pond some years ago...wasn't good

 

I have installed several lifts including the TeraFlex 2.5 Coil lift on my two door.. if you feel game i can help you do it right here in my garage, I have the tools and jacks all the goodies .. I am just south of mansfield on rt 15 about 35-40 minutes from you

 

man, such a nice gesture. cheers to you sir.

 

There you go ^^
I've done 5 lift installs including my own. Installs not hard if you have tools.
Always see jeepers helping each other on the forums, and would NEVER pay someone to do it.

 

We are all family.. even the step children

 

JK Jedimaster, what a great offer!! I will definitely take you up on your offer, when I get a lift that's awesome... I have really missed the Jeep family!
I'll PM you when I get a lift!
Thanks so much!

 

No Problem... Will be fun !!!

 

While you decide on a lift, you might browse the faq's (stickied to the top of this modified area), and before showing up at his door, read through a few of the install writeups. (up in the writeups section, there is an index at the top).

Those will probably generate a dozen new questions you hadn't thought of, but you'll be much better off having a better idea of what you'll be doing before you get there.

 

Yeah, I've been checking them out, then running out to the driveway looking under the jeep, trying to identify the parts on my jeep. I'm normally brave when it comes to tearing things apart and putting them back together (houses), but vehicles, I get a little shy. I'll check out more and I'm sure ill have more questions! Thanks for the tip!

 

Yeah, I'd hit up Echo, buy some pizza and beer, learn how to do this yourself with his help.

I have NO experience wrenching myself. I recently swapped springs with someone on here and he was more than happy to show up at my house on the weekend and do the swap. I learned a lot that day, and enjoyed it. He also offerred to help me with any mods I wanted to do which surprised me since I didn't know him before the swap. Some people enjoy working on Jeeps.
