I had the body lift put on at Southern Custom in Alachua and the leveling kit, believe it or not,put on at the Gainesville Ford dealer. The Ford dealer is actually really cheap for putting aftermarket items on for me. The off-road shops always try to charge you some crazy amount. (i.e. Truck-o-rama in Gainesville) I am Still trying to put together a Florida Chapter here and the other site. Interested??

If you dont mind me askin how much labor did they charge? I was thinkin about liftin mine but not sure. If i had some more tools here i could do it myself. The body lift is attractive because of the extremely low price but it seems like such a pain.

I might be interested in the FL chapter thing, keep me posted

Who makes these strut braces? I've never seen them before either. They look cool!

Damon the strut braces come w/ the RCD kit. They also come w/ the Rancho kit. They come w/ their kits because the use a subframe as opposed to just coils and spindles.

LiftedTruckGirl I noticed that you like hockey. Do you play out in Simi or what?

Thumbs up

The performance accessories 3" body lift was $180.00 with the bumper relocation brackets. Southern Custom charged me $300.00 to install the body lift. The installation is an all day job and will take some extra hands .The Fabtech leveling coils were $179.00 + 40.00 per shock. The Ford dealer charged me 3 hours time for the install of the coils and shocks. You could probably do better if you were willing to go to Jax or Orlando.
