Default Lifting Grand Cherokee

Hi there

I'm in Perth, WA. Anyone recommend somewhere I can get my Grand Cherokee 2013 MY14 lifted?

Looking for parts only, or parts and labour.

Has anyone lifted their GC? Did you notice a change in fuel economy?
Or will economy only change if I upgrade the tyre size?
I have the CRD Diesel.

Thanks in advance.

You'll want to see www.sbroffroad.com.au

They are at U4/51 Lancaster Road, Wangara. They mainly deal with Wranglers however they should be able to help you out.

The diesels are pretty frugal so you won't see any real difference with a lift or going up a tyre size, mine has both.

Thanks Nanook. I phoned them but they don't do Grand Cherokees. (only Wranglers?)

I got a quote from Wilkinson Suspension for new Bilstein shocks front and back, and lifted King springs, fitted and 4 wheel alignment.
Total price $2,815

They seemed really knowledgeable and knew all about the Jeep rear shock rattle issue (which is the main reason I am changing them).

Jeep quoted $3600 for genuine rear shocks!! so I'm getting 4 new shocks and springs for less than just the genuine shocks haha

I have shopped for King Springs at Supercheap in the past, the saving was huge at under $200 a set delivered, some places want $100 more, I have got shocks and bits from Fulcrum Suspension before, DiY fit as my wallet doesn't stretch far enough............... Going the Supercheap/Fulcrum way for the WK2 when the money tree fruits.

That's why I recommended them. I know they don't sell WK parts but they have worked on Cherokees.
