hey guys,

 

I started calling around today for labor rates on a 6" fabtech suspension lift. What is a fair price on the install of the 6" lift only? Thanks,

I get $750-$1000 and up, for any complete ifs suspension lift install depending on what/if any lift accessories have to also be installed (read: traction bars, multi-shock brackets, brake system modifications, etc). I am very well trained, have all the tools and am very, very picky about my work quality. I've seen the kits installed for less than what I charge. They usually bring them to me when things start breaking or falling off because of mis-torqued and missing bolts or incorrectly modified factory pieces. Then, it's $75/hour until its fixed and don't worry, I could have plenty of

work doing this stuff, if I didn't want a life outside of the shop.

Where are you located? In my area 5-700 is the norm. Anything more is a rip off. There is only like 8 to 10 hours of labor involved.

I personally wouldn't let 4 wheel Parts touch my truck. This is based on aprevious experience with them. Your choice though. There was another member who had them crank his keys on his HD and was not impressed with them either. This isn't meant to be a rant or any other negative comment, only to give you my opinion based on a true experience.

You go to any of the big name places youre gonna get shitty work and pay way too much..

 

 

Do you know anyone else with lifted trucks? Theres gotta be some local shop somewhere that would love to do it for $500. They will probably do just as good of a job as if u pay $1200. Find a local off-roading club, or find some dudes with jacked up trucks and ask them where to go. Someone will be able to help ya.

I'm in valdosta Ga. That's right, the middle of no where. I am an hour and a half from Tallahassee and 2 hours from Jacksonville. I just talked to a guy in tally at a shop called Off road innovations and they quoted my 775 for the lift installed, tires mounted and aligned. Sounds like they know there stuff..........

 

Going to make some more phone calls, but I am NOT going to 4wheel parts.

$775 is OK but not a great price.. You can count on a dollar an inch for the mounting.. so 20's cost $80 bucks, and then an alignment is probably another $80 bucks so thats about $615 for the lift install.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      By revrnd · Posted

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way too big headlights (similar to a previous non-Wrangler SUV) should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crossing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well
