Lift kit install in Edmonton AB
 
Hello I am wondering where to get a lift kit installed in Edmonton. I could get any rinky dink shop to do it, but I would like to have it done well. The whole do it once, do it right concept comes into play here. The lift that will be going on is a 3.5-4.5" (not quite decided yet) long arm lift. They will most likely be installing axles as well (which ones, I'm not yet sure...maybe atomics). Any feedback on a good shop would be great! Again do it once and do it right...and a decent per hour rate doesn't hurt either!

Custom Truck Parts.. But why such a tall lift and why longarm.. You planning on putting in a Hemi and running 40s.. You can run 37" tires with flat fenders and a 2.5" lift.. 2.5" lift is plenty for 35s and stock fenders..

To be honest, I am looking at running 37" tires, but I want to keep the same stock clearances or make them better. Im fairly new to jeeps so a lot of my thinking is just guesstimates. If 37-38" tires can be achieved with a smaller lift then AWESOME :-) although i dont want to be worrying about any rubbing at all be it be it offroad or on.

If you choose to go 37" that's cool, but then I suggest you do lots of research. The 35 to 37" jump is the proverbial straw that broke the camels back in the JK world. Lots of extra things/parts to consider starting with regearing. That and the cost difference between 35" and 37" tires for the sake of an inch clearance. Lifts are the same, as good till you get to the 3" and up range then the average for a quality trouble free lift is about 1K per inch.
