[QUOTE="IndominusHuman, post: 421050, member: 17255"] They are trying to get you. 11k in my min is ridiculous. You can get a good quality lift for around 2,000 and if you are mechanically inclined at all it can be a DIY project over a weekend. If you don't want to do it yourself add say.....1,000 to 1,200 for install (rough estimate and I'm sure someone can correct me on this). As far as wheels and tires, if you want to stick with 33" tires I would go with a smaller rim than a 18" (kinda just personal preference, but also the more sidewall the better if you want to do real off-roading and will air down). I have pretty expensive wheels and tires on my jeep and they were priced out at around 3k for all 5. Bumper- I would steer away from Smittybilt. There are much better bumpers out there for a little bit more cost. A winch you can get for less than a grand easy. So all in I would say you are at most at 8k. So they are trying to pocket 3k. *this is why i do everything myself* [/QUOTE]
