Total Cost of a lift?

Cpike · **Posted:** Thu Dec 17, 2009 7:42 pm

Well its that time of the year, my brother instead of giving me a gift just gave me cash (more then fine with me!). So I'm looking into getting a lift again for my 07 liberty. I have a rough idea for prices (they are written down somewhere) for the actually lift parts, But what about the installation of them?

My mom just lifted her Wrangler, and they charged her 500 dollars and some change and had her jeep for all day. She went to a nearby jeep dealership\off road parts store to have it installed.

What do you think on prices? Would I be looking at 500 for installation for say a OME lift?

Hope you guys can give a broke college student some advice before he spends all his saved pennies on his Liberty.

Thanks,

-Chris

For 500 I would drive over and do it for ya !
Its an wasy 3 to 4 hour job if you have a few or right tools
or
Why not see if you can get a lift party together to do it.

Didn't think of a Lift party to be honest, Last time I peeked into the Northeast forums it was mighty silent. And I don't have anything special for tools.

(Not to mention its about 10 degrees outside and I have no garage)

i got quoted 600 for adding my lift. it would cost more than the actual lift itself. i am a broke college student too. go for the lift party though.

OK thats it buying an old school bus and traveling around the country doing lifts, 600 bucks for 3 hours work is pretty good money :lol:

Heck AllJs only charges 350 I think it is

Hmm...Ohio Eh? Thats only 12 hours away... haha. How do these Lift parties go?

I'm social inept when it comes to other jeep owners, I only know wranglers and Cherokees and neither think I should be on any trails, let only think I should get a lift.

Lift partys here in Ohio are when someone needs lifted we all get together and help do it, some teach, some learn others stand around and do nothing! :lol:

Easy run to Ohio!
I used to run to Boston every other week straight through :lol:

Hmm awfully tempting to drive 12 hours to save 500ish dollars. Would you or any other Ohio'ers be up to helping out a newbie from out east?

haha yeah 600 bucks and they said it would take about 5-6 hours. i have a mechanic that would charge me a little less but a lift party sounds better.

You buy pizza and drinks.... and I'll help! :wink:

Oh so very tempting. See the country, Get to some warmer weather (I believe its in the Single digits right now), Meet some new people, Drool over some liberties, AND get a lift kit installed. Oh so very tempting. I may have to take you up on that offer, But it may also have to wait until after Jan due to School and work.

Unless I find a cheaper solution sooner, I may hit you up in a few months to try and start a lift party in Ohio.

If you get it before Jan 4 then I could help you install it, I did mine and another guys that used to be in the area. Also there are some other guys in the area that could help out. Post up in the Mid Atlantic area.
I go to training to go to Kuwait early Jan so after that I would be out.

dang, i wish i could take you up on that offer. there's no way i would be able to order it before then though. i gotta save some cash up again since i just bought a stereo. thanks though. i really appreciate it.

I know there are some other NH LOST members in the Nor'east forum, save everyone some gas. Just need a barn, garage etc. If I still lived back there I'd be in. Post a mesage, list waht tools you got, the members will tell you what you need, you supply beverages and za and bobs your uncle, lifted KJ. Good luck, and merry Liftmas!

I did kind of a standard ome rancho lift. Here is the link to my list with prices, including alignment and front assembly. Tom and CD did my lift for me.
