Has anyone called and questioned it.

The link doesn’t work, so I have no idea what we are looking at.

I do know a top end suspension from me would run you in the 7k range. But that’s 14” coil overs front and rear, air bumps, anti rock rear swaybar, swaylock front swaybar, custom 4 link rear, custom 3 link front, Johnny joints all the way around. But that’s as good as it gets.

Otherwise, off the shelf, you can easily spend 7k on fabtech coilover kits by the time you option them up a bit.

Or what joel said, air rock with pretty near any longarm.

My rims and tires were 4500. Closer to 6k if I hadn’t of gotten the toyo’s at cost. But that’s 5 beadlocked 38’s.

It looks to be a TJ on 3"-4" short arm lift with stock TC Skid and 35's on black steelies.

But Damn Billy, your prices have gone through the roof on your bolt'on'parts.  :o :o

There is no way the wheels and tires are $3000.  As joel mentioned the rims are black steelies and the tires are MTZs i believe, but to me they look like 33s.

Also the lift is a short arm and no more than 4.5".  The guy is full of crap

I gave them a call for more info. the rig is sold for those that where thinking about it, and the sales guy said that it had a Ranco lift and BFG tiers not knowing the size.

Ha just found this. That was my old TJ. The 7000 dollar lift and 3000 tires/rims came from the dealers mouth,not mine. I told them I had about 7 grand in the lift, new tires and rims. The lift was the Rancho Rockcrawler Pro with the remote resivior shocks and upgraded coil springs. (shocks alone were a grand). Had awsome flex btw. The tires and were band new Mtz 33's and new steelie rims. About 2 grand mounted and installed. Total the lift was about 4 grand, the rims/tires 2grand and I added about a grand in for labour costs. When I saw the ad I questioned the sales people and they just told me the guy that owns the dealership son does the adds and pricing. And I di'nt own it anymore so what could I do. I thought I would put this out there just so the guy who bought it (someone in Airdre) does not feel he got ripped. Was a great Jeep for me and I miss it big time. :'(
