Looks like you have a decent amount already on it.

An extra 2k in the bank would be smart.

sorry, they changed their price again.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/pro-c...spagenameZWDVW

they sometimes run a $1,200 kit with $100/150 shipping. It's $1,370 right now with free shipping




edit: here it is. don't know what they want for shipping on this one, but same seller for $1,188.00 for the 6"

not if you do it yourself

I did a 4" and 6" on a 93 Bronco/94 F-150 in my garage using handtools and jackstands. it's actually alot easier than you would think...lifts just make it easier



all you really need is a sawzall and a spring compressor for our trucks. most wrenchers already have everything else in the toolbox

True duals on a stock truck are pointless. You lose power.


For the OP: Custom tune, gears, and headers.
