Re: BAD IDIAL?
IDLE.
It normally runs between 7-800, so you're not too far off. Did you bump any of your sensors when installing? Idle Air Control, Throttle Position Sensor?
This needs to be moved to Tech.

Re: BAD IDIAL?
You don't want your idle at 1000 RPM.
Check for vacuum leaks.

Idle speed is not adjustable. There is nothing related to installing a lift which would have an effect on idle. so that must be coincidental. Or as mentioned, did you do anything under the engine bay at approx. the same time?
Does the idle stay steady at 500 or is it a fluctuating, rough idle? Any check engine light? If so, pull codes.
In the absence of any check engine light, cleaning the idle air control and throttle body for idle "quality" issues is never a bad idea.

89xj, boy I have to get my eyes checked or somebody slipped something in my coffee. I thought I read a 3" lift! My mistake.
