In addition to 110 dollars shipping that lift is overpriced. 660 dollars can get you more to your door.

Because that is what I wanted to do. Why are there so many people who cant understand this? and Yes it has 18's and I know you prob dont like that either.

The man wanted pics of different lifts, and so I provided mine. That is what this site is for, to help others.

All show, no go. Your money to waste. Not my cup of tea but to each their own. It is a nice looking rig.

Let me re-phrase off-road....It does go up and down beach, does that count?

While I will agree with you that the shipping on that kit is ridiculous, the lift itself, I don't think, is overpriced. When you look at all of the zombies on here that are willing to throw that much at OME shocks and springs, or the 2.5" TF spring lift, to get less lift, it's not a bad deal at all. When you consider that track bars, alone, will run you at least 300 for the set(f & r), that's only 250 for shocks and springs! That doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.

I'm curious to know what you think is more economical for the same 660.

id go with the teraflex. all their lifts are underated. the 3" teraflex will be bigger than any other 3" lift out there imo and the ride is great. I worked for a 4x4 shop for a long time. we did a lot of jk's. teraflex is the most bang for your buck.

I completely agree that the lift is priced right, they pad shipping to get back the money for the stuff you just mentioned. Just my opinion so take that for what its worth.

However I built my lift with front and rear trackbars, springs shocks for about 550 shipped. Then addded additional parts over time to make it perfect. Check this build out.
