Lift kit install labor

TXGREEK · December 17, 2019

$2500 for lift and install included or just for installation? If it’s for both that’s cheap!

That was just labor.

My local shop took 3 days. 4 wheel parts said they would take the truck in at opening and have it ready by closing time. I questioned that! I like people to take their time and do it right. I'd use a local shop because if you have any issues, you can drive back locally for them to fix the issue. And their will always be some sort of adjustment that needs to be resolved! Also, for example, my local shop requires you to return after at least 500 miles so they can triple check everything and retorque everything.

Why would you question that? It’s what they do. Your local shop took 3 or 4 days because they probably had one guy doing the work in a shop with a couple of bays and other vehicles to be worked on. 4wheel Parts dedicates a team of guys to each build in a shop the size of grocery store with multiple bays. Just cause they can churn vehicles out in a day or two doesn’t mean they’re doing shotty work. They to require you to return so they can retorque everything

i do agree OP should stay local. It makes absolutely no sense to drive 4hrs to get a lift installed when a local place will do it for the same price. Turning it into a mini vacation is just adding cost to the whole thing which I gathered you were trying to avoid

Why do I question it? Because it's to much work for an 8 hour shift no matter who's doing it. And if you call any other place like I did, they are all 2-3 days. And no, my shop doesn't just have 1 guy working while doing other cars. It's a group of guys same as they do at 4 wheel parts. I went to 4 wheel parts and their shop & employee count is pretty much the same as my local shop. So you really believe 4 wheel parts dedicates an army of guys to just do your vehicle throughout the day and forget about the other cars that need to get worked on? I really don't think that's gonna happen. And I never said anything about shoddy work, if they did shoddy work they'd be out of business a long time ago. I simply prefer to wait and have the local shop do it and take their time. I don't care how many careful professional people are working the truck but the fact remains that 8 hours to do all the work I had done is rushing.

That's just me!

Relax you guys it's Christmas time

It's going to be a good Christmas for me again.

Last Christmas I bought my 18 Black Silverado and pretty much gave my wife my 18 Silver Silverado.

This year I told I want a lift kit. I told I don't need wheels , just the lift kit and tires. I'll worry about the install too.

Well stopped by the garage a little bit ago and said " Go ahead and order the wheels too. You were good this year."

Then she left and said don't be up all night again.

So for the last couple hours I been filling my cart at Custom Offsets. They got the best package deal on what I want.

I'm just going to order everything I need and take it to 4 Wheel Parts. Pay the price and drive away like a badass.

I'm pretty set on the McGaughys 7"-9" set at 8"

Add a leaf so it has some rake. I don't do that saggy ass look. Cali lean or Carolina whatever. Yuck.

Probably go with these wheels. I'm not dropping 2 G on wheels. I'll keep my 22" snowflakes for winter with some cheap Atturo AT 37" tires.

Savage off-road 22x10 -24

Chrome wheels.

Toyo Open Country AT II

37x12.50xR22LT

I'm for sure going with the McGaughys.

The wheels I kind of just picked because I liked how they would be easy to clean. And the look.

The tires are high on my list but not set in stone. I can't make up my mind if I want to do a hybrid.

I got some time to decide I probably won't place the order until I confirm offset and availability. I don't want that 12 wide -44 tires sticking out 3"-4" look. I can live with some but not that much. I'm old.

Here's my cart.

Oh and I'll probably regear it too just not right away. So relax on the regearing.

Awesome Christmas gift! That's the same thing I did, I just did it a month earlier. Couldn't wait till Xmas. Enjoy it! That truck's gonna be a monster! Post pics when done!

Good price on the lift by the way.

One person can instal that lift in a home garage in a weekend On jack stands and you’re questioning how a few people can knock it out in a day with a lift and thousands worth of tools and equipment?. LoooooooLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! I’m seriously laughing out loud really I am.

and stop trying to be extra knowing damn well you went to 4Wheel Parts and made it as far as the counter and that’s it. You didn’t go count employee heads and really question how they could get it done so fast.

you do you bro. Op will be pleased with the work done from 4WP.

congrats OP. Truck is gonna be sweet when it’s done

SSchup · December 18, 2019

Congrats on your purchase, McGaughy make a great kit. Truck is going to look great. Make sure to post up some pics when it's done.

DominatorZ71 · December 18, 2019

Congrats on your purchase, friendly advice, don't go cheap on winter tires. You'll end up in a ditch

Listen, I'm not arguing this. I gave my opinion for my lift and related install because I'm the one that paid for my work. Everyone chooses where they want to get things done. I'm certain the OP will have good work done. I'm not questioning their workmanship or efficiency. I've bought parts from them, matter of fact, my Bilsteins came from them. All I was simply stating was that I felt more comfortable going to a local shop and having the work done there in the longer period of time that they take. I feel more comfortable with that. Maybe it's stupid, I'm aware of that, but that's just me. I don't need anyone to rush when doing a job like that and I'm never in a rush. I fly for a living so for me it's ok, I drop my truck off, go to work and pick up 3-4 days later. Remember, I had other little details also installed where that personal service comes in with a local shop to listen to you and take their time to understand what you want. That's the choice I made. I don't want my post to be misinterpreted as if I was putting down 4 wheel part's work. That's not the intention. And I totally agree, OP's truck will be great!

22"s or 20''s?

Some of the 20" wheel tire combo's are a few hundred bucks cheaper. I could get nicer wheels and probably still save a hundred.

I really like these all these wheels . They look similar. I'd be happy with any of these.

What do you guys like?

I like more tire and less wheel, I'd definitely go 20" personally. Not big on chrome wheels so it's hard for me to pick a style out of those other than advising against fuel. Have you checked the CO gallery for the same lift and negative offset you're looking at? I think you said the McGaughys lift doesn't increase track width too much, but when I had 9" -19 wheels with a BDS kit, the tires stuck out pretty good. I liked it but I also think you said you didn't really want that. You can search the gallery to see what you're looking at and make sure you want to go that far negative.

Congrats and good hunting, sounds awesome!

DONE DEAL

Merry Christmas to me

I just placed the order with Custom Offsets.

McGaughys 7"-9" basic kit.

Add a leaf kit.

20x10 -19 Scorpion SC29 wheels

Nitto Ridge Grappler

37x12.50x20LT

I was going to go with a offset close to zero but I didn't like anything enough to pull the trigger on. These will stick out some I'm not sure how much but not as much as a -44 with a 13.50 tire like most of the younger dudes are running. I'll probably have to get the wheel flares as much as I don't want to I think they are kind of ugly but so are Rock chips.

My Black paint is already pissed about this

LRod · December 19, 2019

Did you look in the Custom offsets gallery? Tons of trucks there like yours with the size and offset you chose. You're quick, Lol!! It took me like a month of research to figure out what I would want. Congratulations on your purchase. It will look good! The size and offset you chose will be perfect.

Why no Fuel? I was looking at their new line up
