parts 750 range
labor depends on what they charge in your area
Some places know how to install a lift on a KJ others don't and charge by the hour and who knows
May check with others who live nearby to see what they have done

My uncle is going to do it hes put in 3 different lifts. And with wheels tires and lift parts i came up with almost 2,400

 

[Dirt Devil]

I had the Skyjacker lift kit and it lasted less than 2 years. It was always sqeaky and noisy. I would never recomend this lift kit. I just put the OME heavy suspension on my Lib. What a big difference.

:freak3:
Wow
2400
what tires are you looking at?
Are you thinking wheels as well?

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Why did they change the brake lines from 04-05?

Because 4 channel ABS instead of 3.

 

[crazyjeepkid]

new tires, 2.5" oem lift(heard its the best), want black rims but not sure if to paint my 17" chrome rims or buy new rims

I've been looking at some xd black rockstars...but they are pretty expensive. =(

 

[Abby922]

the 2,400 includes the wheels and tires and are the parts to lift it

holy shit

So subtracting the ~$800 for the lift parts that leaves $1600 for the wheels and tires.

What the €£~*% are you getting...? :freak3:

Tommud "If going OME there are some additions to add to get extra height if you are planning on running 32s
First go with the 927/948 combo of springs, get JBA UCAs ( will help greatly with alignment issues) add a 1/4 inch top plate from JBA, 3/8 inch clevis all on the front, then rear add two extra upper isolators
teraflax front bumpstops in front , not sure what year you have but if 05 and later , you'll need a brake line extension for the rear
this will give you about 3.25-3.50 inches of lift after it settles in
You have it made since you can go with 4.10s or even 4.56s since you're only 2 wheel drive"

I looked up and added all of these parts up and it my wheels and tires together are only $880 the rest are all the parts above

 

[Abby922]

The 927/948 combo with springs and shocks are $756 and the UCA is like $345 and all the little parts added to it comes up to about $2,400
Do you guys recommend a less expensive way?

OK, so the springs, shocks and UCA's total $1101. The top plates are like $25, the rear iso's about $25, the 3/8" clevis lift is either free or $4 if you buy conduit nuts. So now we're at $1160-ish.

That still leaves $1300 for wheels and tires - unless you're also going to regear which will add about $600-$800 to the $1160 which now totals $2000 on the outside leaving you $400 for wheels and tires.

Is this new math...? :freak3:

yes i am re gearing and its not 600 to do that. and my wheels and tires together are exactly $883

how much for labor or are you doing it yourself?

 

[ThunderbirdJunkie]

Whar kind of crap tires are you getting WITH wheels for $833?

 

[Abby922]

This is too funny im either spending way to much or everything is crap huh?
But my uncle would be doing it

Got it!

With regearing it's easy to see how you got to $2400 - what got us all going was your statement that the lift and tires totaled $2400 alone. But add in UCA's and 4.10's and - yessir - you're at $2400.

Dang - wish I would have been able to do all that at one time...But 2 kids in college, a mortgage, $4/gallon gas forces me to space things out a bit, ya know? arty52:

Post pics as you get this project underway!
