Factory lift?
« on: December 30, 2008, 05:36:25 PM »
I was at the river this weekend and a guy had a 2001 TJ Xtreme and it was sitting on 33x12.50's and I looked and it had spacers with plenty of clearence for the tires.

So I asked the guy and he said it was a factory lift. There was no body lift so what else did they do to fit those 33's?

Must be a Dealer Installed package.  This could mean just about anything could have been done, most likely third-party.

Our Jeep dealer around here sells them with lifts, wheels and tires for those people that dont want to mess with doin it there self, they just charge a crap ton for it but you do still get the factory warranty i believe since the dealership put it on.

I knew a guy a few years ago that had a 2000 TJ sport. He got it from one of the local dealers with 3" suspension lift aftermarket rims and 33's. IIRC it was a Rusty's kit. Full factory warranty on everything.

He should call it a 'dealership lift' and not a 'factory lift', unless he's ashamed he spent too much.

I am friends with the guys that work in the shop at our local 4wheel parts store. They do lifts all of the time for dealerships, as a matter of fact they have a salesrep who's sole job is to sell lifts and accessories to dealerships.

Actually while browsing on a JK forum I found that Mopar sells the long arm RE kit as a Mopar setup that can be installed by the dealer the kit is just about twice the price of the same RE setup
