Jeep lift kit

Post by kaney »

Am looking for a lift for my xj jeep, I have found some in america that will work a treat (4.5" lift) but the thing is its going to be $700 american to freight it back. its not needed any time soon, has anyone got any ideas to get it home cheaper? or know where in NZ sells lift kits at a reasonable price.

Try this web-site http://www.ishop-america.com/order.php, fill out the fields and let it calculate the shipping for you, I have normally found it to be a lot less than $700.

Cheers

Why dont you build something from scratch? Your up for cert either way you go about it. Also you'll get exactly what you want. I can help you for a reasonable rate if your keen.

with 33s you will want to re-gear it, throw in a locker etc - well that is what I had in mind if I had collected my redundancy cheque but I took a job elsewhere in the organisation to make sure I had a job at all
