Best thing about it is he's located about 45mi from me but was good enough to meet me half way...no shipping!
Point is, there are deals out there, so be patient and keep looking.
I hope to have it all installed by February.
Good luck!
Thanks! Yep, I'll be keeping my eye out.

the lift is not hard IMO. but if you have any doubts take it in, alot can go wrong if you don't know what your doing.

Well speaking of Craiglist I just looked and there is an add for a Fab 6" or 8" installed for $1500- $1600. Thats pretty cheap eh?

it all depends on the shop, labor rates vary obviously. the shop in town refused to install a lift kit that wasn't purchased from them, said it was a liability, more like they couldn't screw me selling it and then installing it. i'd say 600-1000 depending.

x2. 600-1000 would probably be resonable

on a 6" kit, i would never pay more than $600 for install.

id install it yourself, i was going to but at the time my dad didn't want to tear apart a 4 month old truck.
