just gotta take it to the alignment shop tomorrow after the front bumper gets put back on and the exhaust gets welded on
You must be doing a supsension lift also??? because a body lift does not require alignment.

I'm reading all of this thread and am confused. Body lifts are simple. Is there something different that has to be done over a normal body lift????

I want to go on record as saying that I love 4WheelParts. I love the fact that they stock a lot of stuff that you couldn't find locally otherwise. I like the fact that I can buy online and pick up in the store without paying any shipping. The guys at my local 4WheelParts are very knowledgeable.

Yeah, I buy stuff from them and install it myself. At least you gave them a chance to price match. Good luck with the guy that you choose to install it.

Very true. Its a pain in the ****. I did my body lift myself and its just rediculous. Its very time consuming and needs a lot of patience. An extra set of hands are helpful as well.

Yes he did a suspension lift as well. But these year trucks body lifts are simple by looking at it but actually putting it on it a pain man.

I wouldn't buy stuff like a lift or wheels and tires from them as they're pricey and their work is pricey also since most that go there from the area show up and say I want this.... And give them daddys money. Other than that they do good work. Had my gears done at the one in Richmond and they did my tint the first time

I've bought a lot of stuff from them and speaking of body lifts they've ran specials on them quite often and have been the cheapest I can find. They've always been real helpful and I would always recommend them. They are a bit pricey but they cut deals too. On our 250 when we bought the new IROKS they gave us free mount and balance, checked the alignment and dropped the price on the road hazard warranty. Right there thats close to 300 bucks. As for the body lift, I've installed 3 myself. One on my expedition, 250, and helped my brother on his 1500hd. Every single one of them was a pain in the ***.

ya i played soccer in sugarland for like six years and there is a lot of daddys money floatin around... not to say there anything wrong with that just seems people appreciate things more when it paid for by themselves

back to be relevant, i think the best way to go is to just go to discount for the tires because they do have the best prices and if not they price match
