Lift kit install labor

[dieselfan1]

 

I got my answer today to my original question. How much to install lift kit?

$1165.50 out the door at 4 Wheel Parts. 

Nobody's going to beat that I'm done looking. As soon as I get everything and make sure all the parts are there I'm calling and getting on the schedule for the end of February. I ordered the McGaughys UCA's today. I decided to run this kit at 9" and you need their UCA's.

In Monday out Tuesday afternoon they said.                  So for around $7200 my truck will be transformed into a beast. I might just bite the bullet and regear to 4.56 at same time they do the lift. Or run it in tow haul and 5th gear for a while then regear. 

Of course I will do a build thread . Merry Christmas

Definitely do a build thread, people follow them a little more on S&S. Can’t wait to check it out!

I'd do one over there but ferralio would probably criticize the whole thing saying I spent too much and so on. I quit posting over there . I just go there to watch. Kind of like a car accident.

GM full-size is like a romper room/circus so I just watch there too.

Anyone that tells you you have done something wrong as far as appearance or styling doesn’t understand the first thing about customizing a vehicle.

I'm way older than them. That's the problem.

I'm 57.

They are younger in their 30s probably.

Some act like they are 16

I’m interested in the bead balancing myself. I’ve only recently heard of it and road force style. I’ll be powder coating the inner lips of some larger wheels soon and don’t really want to see the lead. I’d like to hear what you think of it if you get it. Or from anyone that’s ran it. Also nice choice on the McGaughys, I’m actually replacing my BDS kit with there 7-9 SS kit with front torsion struts, rear traction bars and uca’s. 

What do the rear blocks measure with these kits?

I'm going to run mine at 9" and I ordered the add a leafs but I'm afraid it's going be saggy in ass end. I looked at all the 9" McGaughys trucks w/37's on Custom Offsets gallery and some of them are saggy with the add a leaf. Some are dead level. No add a leaf set at 9" real saggy. I don't do saggy I'm old. I was hoping to have a little rake maybe 1" at the most. I still need to tow a 3500 lbs enclosed cargo trailer. Or a boat that weighs around 2900. I'm wondering if I should get the 6" block. That's a lot of block though .

I’m not sure what size rear blocks they are I can measure them when I go back to my shop tomorrow I’m not gonna use them anyway. I don’t do saggy either. You could always use helper bags or just get taller arched leafs like me. But if you got a six-inch blocks you’re definitely going to want to run traction bars.

I'd appreciate it if you can measure them.

 

That's a for sure on the traction bars. I think you need them anyway.

I forget if plugging in 37's into the tune still causes the computer to freak out with the ABS/Stabilitrak system. I always had to use 35's to keep that system happy but been awhile since I've tuned one.

 

I guess you'll find that out when you do yours.

Hmm, that's odd! Since I joined there, they've been nothing but helpful and very friendly. Matter of fact, their opinions (amongst many others) were essential in my research for building my truck.

Ditto! Though other trash amongst as with even this site, Both helped me out tremendously. Now, being a smart ass will get negative responses. I’ve learned one thing, you may feel like you’re the king of your space but the internet IS NOT your space. Low self esteem individuals shouldn’t talk to strangers especially bullies, they tend to get put in their place FAST!
