JDm

hey, well i don't have them yet, but i just checked with 4 Wheel Parts in Houston a couple of days ago, and it was $1207 for the kit and installation. The kit included spindles, shocks, 2" rear-kit, and alighnment. I think i'm just gonna skip the shocks and put the spindles and rear-lift on my self, which should keep the cost around $600-$700. Fabtech also has a $75 mail in rebate on their spindles until dec. 31.

Paid about $900 for mine... Spindles, 4" blocks and u-bolts, new rear shocks, installation and alignment.

Had it done as a "second-phase" installation after already having the control arm / shock installtion done a couple months earlier.

I got a quote from B&C Offroad in Pasadena on a leveling type of spindle lift. He said its 3" in the front 1" in the back to fix the damn ford lean. The price w/ installation was 650-700. I don't know if that included new shocks though. It sound like a good plan. It may be my next step!

I think that only a 1 inch block in the rear is going to give you a lean in the opposite direction...the prerunner look with the front of the truck sitting higher than the back. I'd tell them to use a 2inch rear block, which is usually the standard with spindle lifts. This should make the truck sit level...or at least I hope. We'll find out tuesday though.
