KBB puts this Cherokee around $3,200 in my area. A rule of thumb for resale of aftermarket parts is a 25-30% payback, if you cared to quickly add up everything he mentions and add that to 3,200. I'm sure it still would not come even close to 5,000.

I wouldn't say that's worth 5,500, not even 5,000. But, at the end of the day it's only worth what you or other potential buyers will pay for it, I suppose.

as much as your correct in this would you under sell your jeep after all the time money etc into it? i highly doubt that, when buying a jeep your partly paying for all the effort the previous buyer put into it when lifting it, i agree 5500 is high for a buyer but for a seller who put that much work into it, it prolly seems like hed be under selling it. just gotta think about that when pricing already lifted vehicles.
