    Will's Rubicon. Now 6" taller!

    Got it back from Hooze tonight. This thing looks really badass. It'll be better when he gets a set of 35's to replace those 31's.

    Fabech 6" crawler lift.

    Awesome flex out of this lift, better than stock ride quality and handling. Four links look awesome!

    Looks great!!! Sorry no tires for sale. I wish I would have known you were planning on having the lift done at hooze, I sell parts (factory mopar) to them at a discount so I may have been able to get you a deal on the lift.

    Actually they did get a deal. The skyjacker lift they ordered first came half red and half black. Their supplier couldn't get the parts or another of the same to make one complete black lift, so they gave hooze the fabtech lift at cost. Way better lift, ended up only being 100 dollars more than the skyjacker.

    Hooze hadn't installed one of these lits before, and I don't think they expected it to be so labor intensive. Dan said he had a guy work 3 ten hour days on it.

    With the labor and the retail cost of the lift, they probably won't sell a job like this one for much less than 9k in the future.

    How much was the cost of lift and labor all together?? Should have found a buddy w/big garage and did it yourself.....they arent hard.....just looks confusing at first. Had a 88 XJ....always told my self if the motor goes it goes......motor went and i sure enough changed it myself.....wiring sucked but werent bad when i sobered up and calmed down hahaah Just start w/the little things and work your way bigger......i assure you and a few buddies could have pulled this lift install off quite easily

    I sell parts to Hooze also, and the guys up ther have always given me great deals on things. I think it ended up being $4,200 parts and labor.

    Most of the lift I think we could have done. But things like the removal of the factory link mounts would have given us a little trouble. (having no plasma cutter or welder on hand) I am greatly impressed at the quality and finish of the work done by Hooze. I don't think that we could have done the same quality job. At least not in any reasonable amout of time.

    As far as we are concerned, we got more than our money's worth. Everything is perfect, and beter than we expected.



    (I swear, Hooze didn't pay me a dime for this ad!)

    Well now that i read whta you've said i think you made the right choice as you said no plasma, torches, welder, ect. This way you KNOW its done right....i dunno how many times ive had to fix shit cause i screwed it up the first time and was too damn stubborn to ask for help

    Yup, and that was my brothers big concern. The Jeep and the lift is such a big investment. It just had to be perfect. Even if he had to spend more money in the process.
