How much will it cost me for a 3in body lift, gap guards and whatever else you gotta do like lifting the bumper up too or something like that. Looking for a total estimated price on parts, and also about how long will it be for the install time at a shop?

 

body lift $250
comes with everything but the gap guards, I ran my lift without them and it looked fine.

as for install cost.. I have no idea, but it can honestly be done at home easily, especially if you have air tools.

 

Made my gap guards from 3/8" rubber I bought at a flea market for $2. Cut to length and self tapping screws, job done in half hour.

 

Any ideas for install time in a shop that has air tools, a lift, people that know what they're doing, the whole nine yards?

 

I installed mine in my driveway in roughly 8 hours (by myself). I would say 4-6 hours for a shop. It isn't difficult just mother effing time consuming.

 

No need for gap guards. Get rear wheel well liners from a Durango.

 

yeah I'd say it took me about 4 hours in a shop with air tools and lift.

 

Local shop in town installs bl for $600 plus the kit($250) in about 4-5 hours. This is in Canada tho

 

Installed mine in 10 hrs. 4 were spent on the freak in steering extension.

No air tools but I used a cheap electric impact wrench and it worked well. Pb blaster helps too.

Call around for shop prices. I was quoted 800 to 1400 which is ridiculous. Canadian price.

 

If we didn't drink so much beer me and my buddy would've been done in 8 hours. Imo do it yourself.
