PICS-leveled and new tires

Got the bilstein 5100 leveling shock and 295/70/17 nitto terra grapplers installed. Flipping sweet. I did some measurements and with just the shocks i got about 2.25 inches, and with the tires and shocks i got 4.5 inches.

shes a little dirty, you can see hand prints on the wheels, i went camping this weekend and didnt have a chance to wash it.

Would it really cost around 1500 bucks to do a gear swap? Thats crazy

Yes it can cost that much on a 4x4, I'd play around with the programmer first or maybe get custom tunes if possible.

How hard is the leveling kit to put in?

it wasnt hard at all, i paid some guy at a 4x4 shop 185 bucks to do it, I could have done it myself, but then i would have had to rent a lift, spring compressor tool, spent about 5 hours of my time, and would have probably broken something.

Just to clear it up, there was no "leveling kit", it was basically changing out the shocks.
