body lift price

I am looking into getting a body lift for my truck.
Was wondering where and what is a good price?

Start by checking Autoanything.com, 4Wheel Parts and Summit Racing. They usually have the lowest, or at least almost lowest prices.
Now, labor to install it will probably be over a grand if you have to pay someone.

I've been looking myself and the cheapest I have seen the PA 3 inch body lift is on amazon.com for $210 with free shipping.

EDIT: Wait, nvm, I didn't look and see that you have an 05. No idea what the price is for that lol... check amazon too though...

Don't forget the gap guards. They hide the gap created by the body lift.
They range from $75-$100

Ask them how many they've done. Body lifts are like anything else, the more you do, the faster you get. Guys on this forum are saying the the old body style F150 took 10-12 hours to do in their driveway with hand tools, looking at the directions every few steps. A guy in a shop with a lift and air tools who does one a week should be able to do it in half the time.

my local offroad shop quoted me 600$ installed for a 3 inch PA bodylift on my expedition, they said it would take 1-2 days depending on how smoothly everything went.

I think when most people say it will be a grand. that's for an install on a 04-08 body style.. i guess they are a PITA to install
