Your best bet is to call some local shops. Prices vary A LOT region to region... hell, even town to town.

 

For a ballpark, depending on the options you get figure somewhere around $2500 installed.

St Johns, Eh? Been through there a few times hanging out at the Delta... :lol:

 

Like Matt said, just call around and ask how much out the door. You can get the kit itself for somewhere around 1400 plus the shocks (the kit doesnt come with any so you have to choose, nor does it have a spacer to run the oem struts).

 

If you're somewhat mechanically inclined, you can do the install yourself. The kit is well built and the instructions are clear on how things go together. Plus you'll have the peace of mind its done right with no shortcuts, and even save some $$ for other mods you want to do.

Doug, is that all you have is the 4" Rancho lift? Looking for some lift on mine in the near future. Yours looks much taller than 4"'s though. Gotta be more, right?

yeah, just the Rancho 4", which is in my case netted almost 6" above where it was stock. Most are getting somewhere between 5.5-6 of total lift before putting on new tires.

 

My best guess as to why its advertised as a 4" is because of some states' lift laws...

Have you considered a body lift? Are you set on going with a suspension lift or are you more looking for the lift height?

 

i've been researching and the suspension lift seems to be the way to go!

 

i was going to to with either a leveling kit with a 3" body lift or the 4" lift.

got a quote today at a local spring shop on the rancho 4" lift kit! $3400= 600$ labor + 2600$ for the kit, doesnt include shocks either!

 

i can also get the 5" RC for $2000, installed for $2600

 

either way im paying $600 to get the lift installed, so i was thinking i could order the kit online!

what is a good/cheap site that ships to canada???

is that CAD$? Seems excessive, though 600 for install isnt bad, does that include an alignment?

 

You MUST get new front struts with the kit, there are no spacers included (weird if you ask me). I ended up with the RS5000s

 

Sent you a PM...

Buy online, and have it shipped to the border and pick it up if you can. I never buy at home anymore, the retailers here gouge us. Screw em.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!! RIP - Chevy 5.3 IMG_6043.mov

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research.
