4wheelparts in vegas said they give me a procomp stage 1 lift and alignment and instal for 2000 out the door? is it a good price?


also a different shop said 1950 out the door for a doestch 6 inch lift?

any suggestions and which i should do?

im think the procomp

 

Sounds a little high to me for the Pro COmp. I've heard of members buying them for $1200 off Ebay (for 04-08 F-150 lifts) and around $500 for installation seems to be average. So $2000 isn't a great deal, but not a ripoff either. Doestch has a good reputation but I don't know what they sell for.

 

there kits are about 1150. damn thats what i thought too for the procomp. but every time i look at them they are like 1400-1500.

 

where do you live? someone might be able to point you towards a better shop.

 

good reading skills he said vegas in his first sentence

I don't think that's a great price for what you are getting.

There are some '04-'08 F150 6" kits out there that give you:

-replacement front struts rather than a spacer. This is important because it keeps your front shocks matched with the rears. Also, the larger heavier wheel was not taken into consideration when Ford chose the front strut valving. The replacement strut will be valved for the weight of the larger tire.
-Front brake lines. There is another thread going right now about someone trying to install a 6" kit and relocate the line and it is not going well. Others in that thread have complained about the brake lines on their kits. A good kit will come with brake lines if they are needed, and in the case of the '04-'08 F150 they are.
-Driveshaft. Every set of directions that I've read for these kits says something about "driveshaft modifications may be nessary". That does not pass the B.S. test. They are if you use 4WD frequently. Even if you don't, you may be replacing stuff like U joints prematurely. There are kits out there that include a replacment drive line. These kits are not much more expensive than the ProComp. Look around and perhaps talk to some other shops.
