well i thought i was done with my truck but i went to the shop today to get a price on a stage 1 kit he quoted me 2300$ is this a fair deak installed it seemed a little steep to me? people keep backing into my truck down here in the parking lots of baylor it pisses me off so much!

 

thats pretty high. I paid $2300 for my stg 2 installed

 

ha i just called 4 wheelparts and they want 3500 for a stage1 installed i told that guy he was crazy

 

lol.. your best bet would be to buy the stage 1 on ebay for $1200 from liftkitkings on ebay and then getting someone to install it locally.. I had mine installed for $500, and bought it from $1100 from suspensionmax on ebay (I don't think they carry the ProComp any more?)

So I payed $1700 OTD when all was said and done.. you should look at spending $2000 tops..

 

does that kit include everything that the normal kit includes? i have a guy that will install it for like 700

 

yep, its the 4wd kit tho, here's the link.. try e-mailing them an offer of $1200 shipped to your door and see what they say.. either way, it looks like the price is $1365 as is.. but that's still not bad.. it wouldn't hurt to try to haggle them.. $700 is a very fair price for install, most places around here were trying to charge $900-1000

personally id go the stg 2 route. new coilovers and dont have spacers. you can get them pretty cheap now a days. a lot cheaper than the 2000 i paid for mine. ive seen them on ebay for as low as 1300. average install is 500, so thats 1900 otd depending on tax and what not.

 

 

wow $1300 for a stage 2? guess I missed out.. I don't think I've ever seen a Stage 2 lift for under $2200..

 

well dam where cani find a stage 2 for 1300 lol
im gona call josh from trailblazers tomra and see what kind of deal i can get there

 

Check ebay often

heres a stg 1 cheap

Cheapest I ever saw a stage II was $1965 September '07. Since then I have seen it as high as $2500 which is where I think its sitting about right now. I think I paid $2250 for mine.

Stage I's I have seen $1100-1600. You shouldn't pay more than 1400-1500 for that lift. Anything more and the seller is gouging you.

 

well ima give a couple people a call today then i guess i choose from a procomp or fabtech from the price lol im not going to be offroading so i dont think itll make a difference at all then all the people that have bit**ing at me cos i have big bumpers and no lift can finally shut up lol

 

Don't stack your blocks. I went to leaf spring shop and had them professionally insert a leaf and re-arch the springs to get the truck to sit level. I only have the block that came with the lift installed (took out the factory one). Installed, it cost me $300 and was worth it.

 

Shep: how is the ride after the re-arch ?? Is it a lot stiffer ? or barely noticable ??
