OK, so I'm tired of running stock. --let me 1st say that I'd rather not do my lift myself -- I don't have anything more than basic tools... I'm very accident prone, and not only do I ride in my XJ daily to work and home, so do my 5 year old and 2 month old daughters... so I don't want to screw up something!!
I live in the Huntsville AL area, and today I went to the major off road shop here to get a quote on a BB installed - I've searched quite a lot, so I know that I can fit 31's (on stock wheels) with 2" with rubbing on LCAs as long as I don't flex it out much (I don't -- just mud for me -- I drive it daily -- can't afford to tear it up on some rocks).
Well 1st the guy told me that if I put 31s on with only 2" I basically won't be able to turn at all... on top of that the "great price" he quoted me for a 2" BB - $235 - is for the kit only!! :doh: So he says it'll be $600+ installed, and something like another $50 if I wanted it aligned afterward... Didn't exactly instill confidence.
So, for any of you in North AL, is there a good shop you would recommend that's not gonna try to charge me $600 for a budget boost?
Thanks!
