hello

you do not want to go 2.5 in the front because you will have premature wear on ball joints from severe angle. check out heavy metal 2 lift for the front i just installed them on my 2005 king ranch and what a difference they made. very easy to install it took me an hour and 20 min and i am no mechanic.

I think you meant 3". 2.5" is the acceptable max limit. Anything above that is problems.

That's generally what I've heard as well, 2.5" is supposed to be ok, though 2" is a little safer. But that's a good set up jrc! I don't know about the rear blocks, but most shops budget around 2 hours for a level install. So around $170 or so?

Yea I'd figure 220-300 depending where you go including an alignment.
