:smiley_thumbs_up:I am planning on purchasing the rro lift real soon and I just baught the jeep about a month ago and want to use up the rubber before going with larger tires. What are your guys thoughts on the look of stock rims/tires (17' alloys) with the goodyear stockers. Like I said I want to use up the rubber before buying new. I have seen some pictures of stock with the lift and personally form the pic I liked it, the stockers made it look taller cause of the extra room vs larger tires which take up more of the wheel well. just looking for opinions. thanks

yeah I was planning on it from the beginning was just doing some research with my dealer to see if the warrenty would be effected. looks like it should not be a problem so hopefully within the next few weeks i will be rolling down the road a bit taller LOL

The dealership suggested to have the "professionals" LOL do it for warrenty issues. I figure for the extra 250.00 for the install and the fact of keeping the warrenty intact was well worth it.

Yup having it installed by an offroad speacialist that my dealer suggested becuase of warrenty issues so they will be doing the alignment after the install. thanks for the heads up

just go with the lift, GET AN ALIGNMENT as someone else posted, and use your stock 17" tires. it's not a bad look and in fact, as you said, it looks even higher because of the clearance in the wheel wells.
if after you wear out your tires and you want to go with something bigger, you'll probably have more of a selection THEN as opposed to now. just in the past couple months, BFG came out with a 17" A/T and I would imagine that there will be more in the works, with manufacturers building smaller SUV's.

Well I spoke with the dealership a while back and they just called me and said they install them and its about the same price so I will probably go with the dealership cause anything goes worng and hey they insalled it. Also they have sold some patriots lifted brand new so that gives me a peace of mind that cannot be baught.

I will let you guys know how it goes and I will post pics in here. I am waiting for a call on the middle man (parts guy at dealership) to call me back. Only thing I don't like is they take forever I would like to get this done asap and they are taking the sloooow time.

That I am unsure of but I did tell them I know the lift costs 340.00 and the off road place that was going to install it qouted me 250.00 + 60 for the alignment. So if they charge me more than than around 650.00 all together well then I will install myself or have offroad do it.

Ok well here is the deal, they called me back this afternoon claiming about 700.00 plus tax for the lift. I called back and left a voicemail cause they were gone for the day. I basically said I can get it done down the street for about 50-100 less than that, and that I would like to have them do it however the distance between the two places is about two blocks so why would I pay more at the dealership a block or two away? I guess I am being a bit picky but hey I already spent a good bit of money buying the jeep from them already cut me a bit of slack ya know? So we will see what they say. I could try and tackle it myself but then i gotta bring it in for an alignment and then they can piss and moan if somthing happens due to me installing it. I am so damn undecided cause I was hoping to pay less than 700 to have a 2" lift put on. At this point I am wondering if its really worth the 700?

Why don't you just buy the lift yourself then have the dealership install it? To me it sounds like they aren't getting a discount on the lift so they are marking it up alittle on you. I wouldn't pay 700 for it! It would be cheaper for you to come to Colorado and pay me to throw it on for ya! haha.

I know 700.00 to much. Well I spoke with a good buddy who races dirt tarck and has much more experiance than me with this type thing so he offered to help. His parents have a huge garage with a lift even so the lift will now cost me 340.00 plus getting an alignment after. Much better than the 700.00 and speaking with the service manager at the place I baught it from sounds like it does not matter who installs it warrenty wise so I am not worried about that. He basically said if the lift causes any issue they will not cover whatever the lift effected but it will not void the warrenty. Only catch is rro has no lifts availible right now said by friday they should and the buddy helping me will not be availible for a few weeks but its way worth the wait thats forsure. :banana:
