Installation price sounds a little high. I had both the AS and Skyjacker installed with an alignment for just over $200.

I think the real tires are going to look allot bigger than what you have in your photo shop pic. Please post allot of pics when you get the new rims and tires on.

I have called a couple shops and they are quoting between $250-350 for install of both. Does this sound right?
Once installed I have a local tire shop who is going to test fit tires for me for fitment.

Thanks,

When I installed my Daystar the Ford dealer charger me 80.00. But that is a different kit. Good luck and check with your dealer for a price.

Just got back from the tire dealer and he is going to sell me the Ko's for $415 each and give me $90 for my Pirellis. For an out the door price of $1397.00 with tax. He said they should fit great!! My plan is to get the AS 2" and rear AAL the morning or June 12th and then get the tires after lunch!!! I am going to check with him on the 5th to order and double check the price.

$415 per tire.... OUCH ! They are great tires but wow, that is allot of money for rubber. They should look great, make sure and post some pics because I'm still saving up for tires and rims and have not decided on 18's or 20's yet.

I still think you should go with the AS 2.5" if you are planning on 35" tires and the rear add a leaf. I've got the the AS 2.5" and add a leaf on mine and there is still a rake to it, not as bad as the oem, but still there. Hope the tires fit without any problems because I am sure it will look sweet.

Thanks guys!! This is going to be one long week!!!

Dog'em,

From talking to Autospring they said since I wanted to maintain the same "rake" as factory (2.25") I would be better off with the 2". He also said it would give around 2-2.5 total lift. I figured if the front was increase by 2.25 that would make the truck level. Then add the 1.5 rear AAL in and it should be back around 1.5-2 inches of rake. I could be wrong, but it wouldn't be the first time!! A coworkers husband just bought a new super duty with the 275/65/20 ATS's and is getting new tires, so if the 35's don't fit I will probably get them in stead. Last thing, I found a place to do the install for $180 with a front end alignment!!

They make em so I am sure they know what they are talking about. I should have gotten some stock measurements on mine before I had everything installed but I was too excited to get it done.

Either way it should look great

$180 for the install and alignment, that's great. Like I said before, just over $200 for mine and the guy that owns the shop gave me a cut on the hourly rate due to the fact that we do so much company business with them.

Can't wait to see those pics !!
