ask a million different people, youll get a million different answers. Shops around here usually charge $200 an axle. Ive seen places ask three times that tho. I do all my friends jeeps for a large pizza and a case of beer

Man i know that guy! Hudlow used to put out some good work but since hes gotten older, all his goons do the work. IMO, dont take it there. If you need a lift installed, hell, we'll do it in my driveway. I did mine. Im only like 20mins from east ridge too (hixson)
