For 3" inches you don't need a SYE. get a TC 1" drop to ease any vibes. Much more economical and at that height it works just as good.

Depending on how big of a fight your old suspension puts up while coming off it should be about a 5 hour install. You getting new springs or add-a-leaves for the rear?

Don't pay to get your lift kit installed. All of the lift companys provide great step by step instructions with their lift kits, now. Get a buddy or two to come help you and you buy the pizza. It doesn't matter how long it takes. what is important is good man bonding time and learning something about your Jeep as you remove and then install the suspension.

x2 install it yourself its well worth it plus learn some new things which is never bad especially if you break on the trail and need to fix it

5 hours? I dont think so.. If its ur first time installing a lift and ur rig has some rust... Ur looking at at 8-13 hours.. Install the lift yourself, there pretty simple and can be done with simple hand tools and a buddy helping. If u bring it to a shop ur looking at 300+ to install it and u have to take it to a offroad shop, I wouldnt trust a regular mechanic to do it, plus it would probably be there first time installing a lift..

whatever the lift says for install time is what a shop will charge you even though they should finish it way before the install time says
