Has anyone worked with Jeeperz 4WD out of East Greenville, PA? I have a quote from them. 2,500 for the following:

RC 4.5 inch X-series full suspension lift
4 BFG 32x11.5 KO2's on 15x8 black steelies.
looks like the total labor is 600

does this all sound fair? is there anything i should consider before getting this done?

Consider a different lift kit, and somebody here may be willing to help you install it yourself.

That labor isn't a bad rate, but I'd rather spend the extra $600 on literally any kit except the RC 4.5" lift.

I concur with the clown.

Here's the thing, I'm in between the idea of a 3.5 inch lift on 31's and 4.5 on 32's. I think ideally I would like a 3.5 on 31's. But i really want a full suspension lift.

I have a 3" full suspension lift no problem. If you have a body lift on a Cherokee I'm impressed.

I'm saying that particular kit is a bad choice. Your overall options are good.

I'd start by looking at Zone Offroad for a similar price. If you want 4.5", my personal opinion is that Rubicon Express has the best value lift kit on the market at the moment. Iron Rock Offroad is also worth looking into.

Can't say I've never done that..... But, dcnr or local PD is who you call... Depending on jurisdiction of course. Cops usually let us go since we were just some good ole boys not screwing things up and we would always have bags full of trash that we collected..... Dcnr was more of a hard ***.
