Topic: What type of lift would you put in your jeep?

Little over 2K there, don't you think?

Maybe, but if he 'shops' for used items that bolt right in, this saves a lot of $ off new and labor it is DIY.

Yup - I don't think he has once suggested that he was going to throw a pile of money at someone and have them build a rig for him 

You need to control your jealousy.....I could have done it myself....but it probably would have ended up costing more....

Although I set up my own gears, for most people that is not a DIY project and it's fairly expensive to pay to have it done.

The good thing about getting this lift from this guy he is going to use my existing air conditioner unit and make an auto inflate and deflate for my tires for when I want to crawl.  Seemed kind of cool.  I am having him a rig built, but I am trying to do what I can without tools like a welder and a shop  just outside my apt.

details please

oh he is taking the thing by my radiator out and we are installing a electric fan, and using the air conditioner pump and modifying it for me to flip a switch to deflate my tires for crawling to like 10lbs (he said it is better than hard tires, they glide over the rocks) and re-inflate them when I am done.  Going to be hooked to a toggle switch and gauge in cab.  I am not 100% on the details. I saw it in his crawler.  when I get it done I will take a picture.

details please

It's an OBA system.  Since he's got a Sanden he'll need a pre-oiler and on the output a oil/air filter.  Personally I wouldn't convert a working AC system since you can supplement it with a even better York compressor.

well i figured that out - but he said it will deflate and inflate his tires automatically  i think that hummer h1 has it as factory installed - never seen an aftermarket one for a Jeep, that's what i thought he's talking about.

I doubt he's running tire inflation system.  Those are $$$$ and susceptible ot damage easily since the lines have to run outside the vehicle and to the tire.  They do this for desert racing on the Dakar.  The tire inflation system on a HMMWV is integrated into the axles which is why the wheel hub usually has that triangular cover.
