Congratulations! I was just saying, lifting a truck needs space. Space for a new crossmember, diff drop, new blocks, new... Nevermind

What is the regular charge to put a lift on? I know it depends on who is doing it but a round figure will do.....

Anywhere from 550 to 900 depending on your location and the d*icks that work there

Dang I was just saying that because Fabtech has a better rep (that I have heard so far on here) and the pro comp stage 1 uses a spacer to achieve the lift. The pro comp coilover would be fine and if he wants pro comp that is what I would recommend to him. But if he would like to save money he should go with the Fabtech kit. Correct me if I am wrong

My shop wanted 1k do do a complete 6" lift. I was just curious I would do it myself anyways

I have no trouble out of my procomp stage 1. I don't put it through hell or off road with it, just drive it on the streets and occasional trips to the duck blind.

I currently have a 2" leveling kit, I just priced both on 4wheel online and the pro comp lift came out cheaper.......

I also have a pro-comp stage 1. I will be switching out my spacers with the coilovers so i feel more comfortable off-road. But, if your truck is a street queen and u take care of it, u will have no problems with the stage 1.

Both basic, stage one vs. fabtech without coilover, like 200 dollars difference....

Yea that would be the way to go. But if you don't, then I would go for the Fabtech basic kit
