I suppose they haven’t actually done any yet. But keeping the Warranty is probably worth whatever they end up charging you. Some have been saying that if you use the mopar lift, it still keeps the warranty even if you do it yourself. Not sure how much risk we are willing to take.
Did you pick wider wheels?
No, 17x9s and skipped any large offset when ordering them, they should be close to whatever the stock wheels are just better looking and with a slightly bigger tire on them.

They wouldn't quote me anything and said it could take all day. Its literally some shocks and spring, control arms and a few other small bits, I could do it with a garage and tools. I had them order and install it to protect my warranty. Only thing I'm not 100% on is the wheel offset. I hope what I picked will not cause rubbing.
I wouldn’t pay them more than $500. That is figuring 4 hours at $125/hr shop rate. That seems more than fair!

Lift went fine, however I didn't research if the stock lug nuts would fit in the aftermarket wheels. So I have wheels mated to tires but now need a lift to put them on with the lugs I bought on the way home.

What'd you do with the factory wheels? Also, planning on swapping out any other Rubi parts?
Stock wheels with tires still mounted are sitting in a storage unit. I dont have other plans yet, just gonna enjoy the look and added ground clearance. :)

Well if you think about selling your Rubi wheels and that soft top of yours, let me know!

I just posed in the Twin Cities thread, but willing to drive ~100 miles to meet buyer for either items so I'm adding here as well.

Anyone out there looking for the OE 18" wheel that comes standard on the Sahara? I have 5 for sale. 1,600 miles on the Goodyear Wrangler A/T's 255 x 70 x 18 I believe. Perfect condition. TMPS included.

Willing to drive ~100 miles of Minneapolis to meet the buyer, not looking to ship all 5. PM me an offer if interested! I'll post this in a few other places on the forum and then Craigslist next week if they don't sell.
