Yeah I thought about it... couldnt find too many trucks that have it. Where could I find information on parts and how much it would cost? If TruckToyz would be willing to do it for me then hell I would love to have it on my truck!

I want to see your truck, stop in Waco on your way back!
Alright ill look them up later today once I get off work and see if they can get me a good deal. Yeah my parents are going to get me the Edge or Xcal2 and the S&B CAI. I think that will help alot. Yeah I might be able to stop by... Still gotta plan everything out.. havent made it that far.

Whewww I know yall are thinkin im insane after reading this now . Im ordering everything through one guy so im looking at about $8,000. Thank god im not married ...Okay so im going with 40x15.50R20 Toyo Mt and not sure what wheels yet. Prob XD Series Diesel Chrome.
Okay I just wanted to add this up for ****s and giggles what I would expect to pay more less from what I know...
Rize $3000
Body lift $350
Gears $1200
Tires $1920
Rims $1500
Total Chaos $800
Traction Bars $400
That right there comes out to $8810. I'm not sure these prices are right, I saw some of them on the internet and I guesstimated as well. That isn't everything NOR labor. Good luck man.

They can do a SAS for far less than 8k, now to get 13 inches of lift and to run King coilovers with a solid front is just not pheasible. A decent link'd suspension with coilovers is far more but give Truck Toyz a call as they are the ones doing the work not us.

It's not hard to do a bunch of stuff to your truck, recovering from the huge amounts of debt you rack up while obtaining such things is the hard part. :o

Rize $2600
Body lift $270
Gears $800
Tires not sure yet... $2000 prob
Rims $1600
Total Chaos $650
Traction bars $800
I got about $7000... plus deaver leaf springs $600... 4" block $140... brake lines and gap guards $200. Soo what like $8000 plus tax? $8600

And no mommy and daddy arent paying for everything... I had about $5000 saved plus the money from this job. They will prob pay for the labor... but i think thats fare

And as far as stopping in waco... I dont see a problem. Let get everything planned out first and then we will figure somethen out!

I think you'll be spending close to $10,000 for everything including tax and labor. . if not more.

Labor on a body lift is around $500. Labor on a Rize 8" is around $700-800. Labor on gears is around $600. Plus you got everything else and you're already over $10,000 with the labor on those three things. Good luck.
