Yet Another Lift Kit Question

[rcadden]

Sounds like we've come full circle. AEV 2" spacer + Mopar LCAs. I wouldn't even worry about track bars. Same ride, exactly 2" lift.

So that decreases my costs....significantly. Which is awesome.

AEV 2" spacer lift = $399.99
MOPAR LCAs = $60

And if I have this correct, with this setup, I don't have a need for a new trackbar or anything else, even with 35s? If so, that would be *awesome* as it frees up quite a bit of budget for nicer wheels/tires, or to let them install it if I'm feeling lazy.

You may need a little extra bump stop as the AEV kit is designed for a rubicon.

So then this is what I'm looking at (incl. wheels/tires/sales tax). Labor estimates are from the shop's original estimate. All of this also assumes no coupons/discounts for the hardware (which I could likely find, esp if I shop sales between now and then).

What's missing (if anything)?

You can save 90.00 , you don’t need alignment.

Just realize the more you drive this thing on and especially off road, the more those factory components are going to wear out. The factory track bars are absolute junk. The factory control arms aren’t much better. You will eventually end up replacing all that stuff and you’ll be back to square 1.

Quadratec has a forum discount if you call in. Make sure you factor in a 12 pack in your self install line.

That doesn't come out of my "Jeep Budget" though. That'll be included in our household "Groceries" bill.

In that case, I recommend 24.
