Lord that’s a lot. I brought these parts myself to my local shop PLUS 3 other items to install…(1) a Daystar rear spacer kit, (2) an MC front LCA set, and (3) an MC front track bar.

Installation of those 3 items AND the RC front lift with an alignment was $590 in labor.
You only had front lift as those spacer are a piece of cake to install in the rear.
And to install the front, you have, or should have, those other parts (control arms and track bar) loose anyway so swapping those out isn't really a lot of extra work.

I thought about doing it myself for awhile but ended up going the safe route and letting professionals do it. Someone a little more familiar with Jeeps could’ve done all that installation with no issues in a short afternoon.

Note: I looked up my bank statement for the install. It was $760 not my previously stated $590. I don’t know where I got that number from lol. Regardless that shop does great work but they are a bit on the pricey side.

My local dealership was going to charge about $600 for install and alignment for the 2" Mopar lift on my wife's JL. I'm assuming it would be the same for the JT.

I have a ‘24 JTR, and got the Overland + 2.5” full package w/ all the control arm skid plates (rear bolt in, but front are weld on) and front differential skid plate and it only cost me $1000 to have it all installed and the alignment done. Here is a list of everything I brought to Richters off-road up in Springfield, TN.


Standard front springs that come w/ 2.5”
Clayton kit. Triple-rate rear.
Sway bar links
Extended brake lines front and rear
RPM 2.5 ton HD alum. steering kit w/ relocation brackets
Adams 1350 heavy duty front axle
Fox 2.5 Elite RR shocks for a 3-4” lift, and ATS stabilizer.
Adjustable track bars front and rear
Teraflex spring retainer kit for the rear
