I don't see this being done for $1000 if it is stock right now. just my opinion

Well my approach was a vineyard lift I'm doin it for a Mexican I quoted 1800 I gotta make atleast 5 off this job know Wat I mean I was gonna fab some 3 inch blocks weld them to the leaf perch or Watever u call it. Get. F250 coils in front with isolators cut the control arms and extend them. Relocate brake lines fab a 2 inch t case drop get a set of long discos. A adjustable trackbar a pitman arm off a tj or jk and I haven't thought of tierods and draglink setup
What does the owners ethnicity have to do with it?
Fab lift 3" lift blocks?
Weld blocks to the axle?!?!?
Cut and extend the flimsy OEM controls arms?!!?
2" t-case drop?
You're gonna need a very good lawyer if you attempt any of this because your plan is simply dangerous at best.
Be honest with the guy and tell him you're not qualified to fab a lift and have hom spend his money wisely on a quality lift kit installed by himself or reputable shop.
Sorry if my reply seems harsh, but it sure sounds like you've got no business touching someone else's rig.

hahahaha 7" for a grand? my god! my 33s are costing me more than that and I still need rims! Go back to the nice man you so kindly ripped off and tell him you can't make a lift.
I am new to lifts, but just from ebay shopping, I can tell you that $1000 is not going to get it done. Also, blocks are not safe for lifting a Jeep. I want 30-31" tires and a 4.5" lift and I am looking at around $1300-1500 bucks.
Just get a 4.5" lift and some nice wheels and tires......save your money.
