Title: Lift for my JK?
Post by: alipotter46 on July 07, 2007, 03:36:02 PM
I'm looking for some input on whether to go with just a 2 in budget boost or go for a 4 inch.  I really don't want to go with tires over 35's or if I want to get any new ones at all.  I have 32's now with 17 in rims. It has been suggested to me to go with a 4 inch Rubicon Express.  Yes Neil I know you think I should go with a 7 inch longarm! Ust do it right the first time is your motto.  Thanks everyone

Yea.. I agree, get the best lift you can afford to the specs/height you want... And get nitro shocks!

Thanks for all your input.  I am having the bumper and everything else put on tomorrow.  I think I will decide about a lift after I see how the JK looks like with the bumper, winch, skid plate and spot lights. Thanks again :D

Can't see the bumper yet. I am having no luck.  It had some defects on it that Jeff from 2TM found.  He got with AEV to replace it.  It looks like another few day. :(

I'm glad their so pickey.  Atleast they care about customer service.  They really are going miles out of their way to change the image of that business.  Jared from TJO would probably have just sold you the very first bumper from the start and sweet talked you.  Then when you left he would have called you a dumbass to everyone.  That was his m-o.  It sounds like 2TM is doing good things.

I thanked Jeff for finding the defect and not putting it on.  He could have just as easily put it on without saying anything.   Iv'e had the bumper for about 3 weeks.  He even called Greg from AEV and made arrangements to get a new one brought up to him. If this is how they are conducting business, I will certainly will be doing more business with them.

So to help Alice update the Bumper fiasco.

For what ever reason AEV wasn't able to get it us today.  So to make sure we get this thing rolling again, I personally went down to Walled Lake/Wixom to get the bumper myself.

Got back to the shop about 7pm.  Jeff will be putting it on first thing Friday morning.

I don't want to jinx anything, but if all goes well.........you know.........

Hope this helps on the most recent update.

Anthony

Thanks Anthony.
When I talked with Jeff at 5:00 he said someone was just on their way back from AEV.  Jeff said he was going to stay and put it on. I told him tomorrow would be fine. I have to work until 5:00 anyway.  I'm not worried about it being Friday the 13th.  I work in a cemetery so it is just another day.  All will go well tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone at 2TM that has been working with me.

Thanks alot for reminding it is Friday the 13th.  I forgot all about that.

Everything will go well.  No worries.  And from everyone at 2TM to you, you are welcome.  We just thank you for being so patient and understanding.  I saw the chips, and it was pretty messed up.  Right on the front of the bumper in plain sight.  If it is still in the shop I will take pics today.

I showed everyone at the shop the posts lately and they were definitely uplifted by all of the positive feedback.  It really is nice to actually to read it instead of hear say 3rd party.

So from everyone here at 2TM thanks to all of you for your support.

Anthony, & the 2TM Crew
