Unless you're swapping in some tie rods, you only need to re-center your steering wheel after a level kit. Highly recommend the Harbor Freight Apex 12,000 winch with synthetic line, right at $500 with a sale, I was a doubter until one of my buddies had it for a year, showed me how wrong I was about it. I have it myself now.1) Level kit install w/ alignment - $500
2) Red Rock HD Stubby Bumper - $400
3) Some kind of muffler upgrade to give this thing some grunt - $200
4) Cheap winch - $400
All that being said, why is every quote for the level kit install around $500? Seems high for an install and front alignment.
Thanks, that’s good to know. My steering wheel is already crooked (to the right) so it needs to get fixed anyway.Unless you're swapping in some tie rods, you only need to re-center your steering wheel after a level kit.

It's a quick fix with 2 people, not so quick with 1. Just turn the adjusting sleeve the right direction the first time, and have the second person verify it's straight. I used two cell phones, one video chat the other so I could see the steering wheel while I was adjusting it. I turned it the wrong way the first time, it's reverse thread. If your steering wheel is off more than 3°, your antilock braking may not function correctly, as it's thinking you're turning and will compensate incorrectly. Leveling kits are just a couple hour jobs, most can do it in a garage or driveway with a good set of tools floor jack and jackstands, with some patience. Don't spend money when you don't need toThanks, that’s good to know. My steering wheel is already crooked (to the right) so it needs to get fixed anyway.
Ahhh that makes sense with the ABS. Looks like I may be putting my girlfriend to work this weekendIt's a quick fix with 2 people, not so quick with 1.

Spend a little extra on the GF, dinner, movie, flowers, anything, especially if she'll help with Jeep repairs/adjustments. If you're lucky, you'll get one that shares your love of Jeeps too.Ahhh that makes sense with the ABS. Looks like I may be putting my girlfriend to work this weekend
