Default Fair price for a used TC 5.5" lift kit?

Hey all,
Looking to sell my lift kit that I just took off my truck when I did my SAS. I'm still using the rear add-a-leafs and the shocks, but it includes an aluminum skid plate and custom front brake lines that don't come with the kit.

Considering that I paid about $1300, not including the skid plate and brake lines, is $400+shipping a fair price to ask? I need the thing out of my garage so I want to price it to sell, but I don't want to give it away.

I also have a front diff with 4.10 gears. Anybody have any clue what that's worth?

Anybody here interested in this? How about any other front end parts? I pretty much have the whole front suspension, axles, etc.

How hard would that be to bolt onto a 2000? I would love to have more of a lift than the two add a leafs, and torsion keys I am going to put in

Does your truck have rack and pinion steering, or a steering box? If it has rack and pinion, this kit won't fit at all. If it has a steering box, the install is pretty straightforward.

Here's more information on the kit. It does fit a 99 Sport.

And this is the info on the skid plate. It looks much better in real life than in the picture.

So, I got this thing all boxed up today and weighed it as best I could. My rigged up bathroom scale measuring device probably isn't super accurate, but it says the box weighs 180lbs. So I'm either going to have to split it up into two boxes or ship it by truck.

If I split it up, shipping cost is probably going to be about $200 to most of you who have asked me for shipping quotes. If I ship it by truck, it's probably going to be more than that. Unfortunately, I had no idea shipping was so expensive.

If any of you are still interested, send me a PM.
