does the rize have to be installed by an authorized dealer, like the warranty reads?? I dont have any "authorized" dealers anywhere close to me. .The local place wants 1100 bucks for install, not sure I completely trust them doin this lift for me?

one has a bad reputation and the other (as you can tell) has WAY high prices but better work, I guess. I was hoping there was a rize dealer in the dallas/ft.worth area but no luck according to the rize website. .
How hard do you think install could be if I had the right tools and all?

I didn't have my kit installed by an authorized dealer, and install was 600 here.

you know you're right man... those 8" tall coil spacers are much better than the supports that surround the shock on the rize... what was i thinkin!

If anything it'll be the same if not worse with the CST since theres technically more leverage since its a larger spacer.
