You can do it yourself.

Are you talking uppers and lowers, front and rear? Try doing it yourself.....not that hard, how much lift are you putting in will vary the length of the arms and pinion angle needed etc. but a decent general mech should have no issues at all given most of us hacks on here have done it many many times.

if you are not having any vibrations at the moment make them the same length, do one side at a time and you will need to put a jack under the spring plate or the pinion depending which way you need to line up the bolt holes. if you have lifted your jeep chances are you will need to tilt the pinion up a little.
