Dude, find a new shop to do the install. $1500 is WAY too much, more like around $800-100 at most.

$1500 sounds about right for the gears but 4WP charged me $300 for the installation of my suspension lift and the body lift should only be around $500.

thumper the body lift takes forever to install, and the fabtech takes 8-10 hrs, $1500 sounds a good price. If i would u i would get the pro-comp xterrain's i think they make them for a 38.5x14.50, they seem a good tire but if u want 38's and not 15.50 and still cheap, good luck with that buddy, i would start looking at superswampers, my tires were $425 each on a 20 inch rim, so 38's on a 17/18 should be around $375

The Fabtech kit shouldn't take any longer than 6 hours for someone who knows what they're doing. 4WP had mine done in 4-1/2 hours. Trust me, $1500 is way too much money if you don't have all the money in the world.
