Lift Kits & Jeep Tops in Wadsworth, OH by Modern Day Muffler & Brakes

Thinking About a Lift Kit or a Fresh Jeep Top?

Whether you want your truck sitting a few inches higher or you're ready to swap out a torn, faded soft top for something new, upgrades like these change how your vehicle drives, sounds and handles the road. At Modern Day Muffler & Brakes, we treat those changes the way we treat everything else — we show you the parts, explain what each one does, and give you a straight answer on your options. For Lift Kits & Jeep Tops in Wadsworth, OH, you get honest guidance from a family-run shop that works on suspension height, ride quality and the systems that come along for the ride.

What makes us the right shop for your build

  • We've done this to our own Jeep. We built our son's 2002 Wrangler TJ into a "Jurassic Park" Jeep, replacing most of the vehicle along the way — so when you talk through a lift or a new top, you're talking to people who've actually lived the work, not read about it.
  • Brand-name parts, picked to fit your vehicle. We sell high-quality, name-brand parts and go over your options for your specific make and model, so what goes on is the right fit for the height and look you're after.
  • A firm number before we start. Once we know what your vehicle needs, you get a real price on parts and labor up front — great service at fair prices, from a family-run shop.

Our Lift Kits & Jeep Tops process

  1. Talk it through first. Tell us what you're picturing — the height you want, the look you're after, or the top style you have in mind. We'll go over what's realistic for your make and model and what parts fit best.
  2. Inspect what's already there. We put your vehicle up and look over the suspension, hardware, exhaust routing and brake components so nothing surprises us mid-job. If we spot something worn, we show it to you.
  3. Quote you a real number. Once we know exactly what your vehicle needs, you get a firm price on parts and labor before we start. No booking blind.
  4. Do the install. Whether it's fitting a lift kit or mounting a new Jeep top, we take our time to get bolts torqued right, hardware seated properly and everything lining up the way it should.
  5. Check the ride and the systems. After the work, we make sure clearances are good, the exhaust and brake lines aren't stressed by the new height, and everything's buttoned up. Please note that we don't perform front-end alignments or electrical wiring work in-house — if your upgrade calls for either, we'll tell you up front so you can plan for it.
  6. Show you the finished job. Before you drive off, we walk you around the vehicle and explain what we did, so you know exactly what's under there.

Serving Wadsworth, OH and nearby

We're the shop on S Lyman St in Wadsworth, and folks from around the area come to us because we deal straight and keep the pricing clear. If you're planning a lift kit, a new top for your Jeep, or you just want an honest opinion on whether an upgrade makes sense for how you drive, come see us. We'll look the vehicle over, tell you what we find, and give you a real quote you can actually plan around. Give us a call at (330) 485-6823 to talk through your project or set up a time to bring it in — we're happy to answer questions before you commit to anything.

While your vehicle is on the lift, it's also a good moment to have us check the parts we know best. A taller stance or a big-tire setup puts new demands on your brakes, and it's easy for exhaust hangers and flex pipe to end up stressed once ride height changes. We can inspect all of it in the same visit and let you know if anything needs attention — same as always, we'll show you the part and tell you whether it can wait. That way your upgrade doesn't come with a surprise rattle or a soft pedal a month later.

Ready to give your truck or Jeep the look and feel you've been after? Stop by our Wadsworth shop or call (330) 485-6823, and let's figure out the right way to do it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a lift kit affect my exhaust system?

Yes — raising the body or suspension can change how the exhaust sits against the hangers and crossmembers. Since exhaust is what we do all day, we can check clearances and adjust or reroute pipe so nothing rubs or rattles after your upgrade.

Will you route my exhaust to clear bigger tires and new fender height?

We can fabricate and weld the exhaust to fit around larger tires and a taller stance, keeping the tailpipe clear of the body and lines. Bring the vehicle in and we'll show you what the current setup needs.

Do lift kits require a wheel alignment afterward?

A lift usually changes your suspension geometry, so an alignment is typically part of the job. We don't perform alignments here, so plan to have that done at a shop that does — we'll focus on the exhaust and brake side of things.

Can you inspect my brakes and exhaust after I install a new Jeep top or upgrade?

Absolutely. Our exhaust inspection is free — bring it in and we'll look over the whole system and your brakes, then show you the worn or affected parts and tell you whether anything can wait.

How do I get a price for the work I need with my upgrade?

Call us at (330) 485-6823 with your vehicle details and what you're planning. Our starting prices are real numbers, and we'll give you an exact quote on the exhaust and brake work involved.

    Modern Day Muffler & Brakes did a phenomenal job on my Dodge Challenger. They treat you like family from the moment you walk in the door. They are extremely knowledgeable and go out of their way to communicate everything to you until the job is completed. They even gave me a ride back and forth from my home so I wouldn't have to work something out. All around 5 star service, and reasonable prices. I highly recommend them. Ask for Rob.

    Update: They've helped me with Brake jobs, performance parts on my f150, and anything else I don't feel like doing myself!!! I needed some exhaust repair work and they were close, inexpensive, professional and very fast. I will definitely use them again!
