Well everyone, there has been one plus to my 5 month hiatus resulting from working the new job... I actually have some money to play with now! :cheers:
Now, the question I am trying to answer, and I'm sure that some of you will be able to help me, what is the final cost of installing the lift configurations that you have?
Ponyboy, you don't count.
I know I can look up the costs of the kits and shipping, but what I'm REALLY looking for is the incidentals.... Did you HAVE to extend the brake-lines, NEED to replace some bushings... shims, cost of getting springs installed, etc...
I'm just trying to get a sense of all the hidden costs that may pop up so I don't get caught with my pants down, and a kit I can't install because I didn't save a little extra cash to get some needed parts, or to do a needed mod to make it work the way it is expected to.
I want:
1) 2-4 inches of lift, to run 33's with plenty of room when I replace the stock tires this winter.
2) Fix the bottoming out of the rear that you all know about...
I know that everyone hear has their opinions regarding certain vendors, in my opinion they have all failed in customer service at some point, so I am not limiting my options to anything. I would even split between several different vendors if I got the most cost effective and reliable set-up that way. So, fire away!
ps. I know that nearly all of this info is available in various places in various threads, but I think that there would be quite a bit of benefit to getting this all into one thread... thanks!
