I have heard that they are tough to put on the new body style {08} i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestion on weather its better to do it myself or have it installed

 

do it yourself or plan on buying an industrial size tub of **** lube cause the shops will get you on the labor costs. if you read the instructions all the way through, its not a hard just, its just a combination of lots of small jobs that add up to one time consuming job.

 

where in Florida do you live? cause i know some good shops around my part of town that dont charge that much for body lift on the 04+ body style

 

If you are the least bit mechanically inclined, you could handle it yourself and save the cash. I've heard the same thing also on the NBS vs. OBS. I've installed 2, one on a 2000 SCab and the other on my 03 SCrew, and the toughest thing I had done before that was change the oil and the brake pads.

It's going to take a while, yes. But if you've done any light automotive work in the past, you'll be able to handle it IMO. Pics of the install process on the 03 in my gallery.

 

i live in the jacksonville area i had a lil local shop price the kit at 510 but the labor at 300 but 4 wheel parts was 315 for kit and 750 for labor but how long of a job is it like full day or what?

 

Yeah, definately do it yourself. Just read and re-read the instructions before beginning, and have them handy the whole time. I'd never done any kind of lift before and I did my 6'' suspension lift myself in about 12 hours. Just be sure you understand the instructions, find pics online, and take your time. It'll save you a lot of money.

 

from what ive heard $810 would be a good price for everything on the 04+ NBS F150

 

its a full day for sure, maybe 2 if you work really slow. get a friend to help you and it will make a huge difference in the amount of time the install takes. also, to save time if you have to work or go to school the day before you do the install, at the end of the day, pull the bumpers off and the back of rear seat out the day before you do the install to save some time. also, the bed bolts could use a good soaking with BP penetrating oil

 

Ill be doing mine in a few weeks and already been spraying every bolt with pb blaster.

 

had mine done for 500$. shop told me that mine was there first new body they have done and that they will be charging more in the future on the next 1.

 

Nooq, your truck is bad ***. Wanna trade?

 

haha naaa, i got it on mautofied.com though for 30k...tryin to see if some rich punks parents will buy it so i can get a new superduty up 12"s on some 40" boggers

 

my mech said thesame he said he will never do another new body style for any where near 500 cause thats wut i was wut i paid he was gonna charge me 250 but took almost 12 hours
