Called a shop and they quoted me $800, to install my kit. I was about to reach through my phone and slap them.

I'm pretty sure that place is just a rip, blackedout.

Edit: Called a shop, and they quoted me $380. So I scheduled an appointment for Monday.

Awesome. Anyone know of a howto for lowering a truck? I have a good 3 days off and would like to at least try lowering my truck myself. I found this: http://www.ehow.com/how_5761947_lower-pickup-truck.html is it pretty accurate?
