Default SoCal Budget Lift

Hey all,

New to me '96 Cherokee XJ 4.0 and I want a little lift but not confident to do it myself. Also I don't need to lift it to the moon, just a little "height for the might" if you know what I mean.

Any suggestions for SoCal shops that could do a budget lift for me?

Thanks!

Mike

HEY Mike,
So what makes you feel you can't do it yourself?

Fear...pure unadulterated fear. hahahaha

I'm about to change my own brake pads and rotors for the first time hoping I don't drop the Jeep on my foot or something

I'm not all that mechanically inclined (but learning) and the whole lift thing just seems way out of my league

OK. Maybe start a thread here asking for local members with experience to help.

Ahh, just down the road from me. There is a place in the wonderful city of Colton called 4 west 4 wheel drive. I would talk to Louie or Paul over there. They have hooked me up with a lot of cheap, good used parts and can do all the work for you. If not, there is Inland Jeep in Rialto. Never dealt with them though.
