Cheapest Place to buy......

Where is the Cheapest place to buy a Fabtech 6" suspension lift and a P.A. 3" body lift ? Also is anyone getting axle rap? If so what are you all doing to fix it besides traction bars? What about the drive shafts any lengthening needed? Extended Brake lines? How do you remove the torsion bars, is there a special tool I can buy/ rent? How long did it take most of you with all the right tools and 2 people working on it for a few hours a day?

Thanks,
Chance

Sorry for all the questions..im new to the 150 world...

ok this is going to be a long one, 1. www.4wheelparts.com has all the stuff you want talk to them and they will give you the best price they price match so if you find it cheaper at one place they will match or beat the price 2. you will get axle wrap and wheel hop because this kit uses blocks, the best way to fix it is use traction bars you can also get new leaf springs so you dont have to use the blocks 3. with the kit you want it will pull the drveshaft out of the transfer about an inch witch is not to bad 4. yes you will need extended brake lines 5. no speceal tools needed to remove the torsion bars they are easy 6. it took me like 12 hours to do the suspension lift and about 12 hours to do the body lift and i am a meckanic and had a freind help me, if you have any Q post them i am running the setup it looks like you want, Txtonka had the exact same setup down to the tires you want you trying to copy him? he had a nice truck, good luck
