Default Summit 3in body lift kit

Found this today. Cheap. Im thinking it should be around the same quality as the other brands. How hard are body lifts to put on and or how much would a shop charge to put one on?

comments ideas etc. thanks

Looks pretty much the same as the other PA body lift kits.. go for it!

If you try a search on Body Lifts, you will find a lot of threads on it. A lot of guys say they have done it in their driveways in 5-8 hours, nothing too overly technical, just need common tools, jackstands, jacks, etc.

I know this is a 3inch kit, but would a steering extension be needed for a two inch lift? Everything is torn apart on my truck right now minus the cab lol, and I'm thinking it would be the perfect opportunity to lift the body a little, actually make the job a lot easier with nothing in the way.
