im going to get a body lift for my truck and was wonder how hard it is to install i hear it can be a pain in the *** lol so thought i would ask the pros i hear that sometimes the radiator has to be moved along with other things? just wonder for some input and to what im goin up to. if u guys that have them could tell me what u did or had to do and how long it took that would b great thanks guys! (mines a 96 1500 and im doing 3")
I am in the middle of one right now.......don't drink too much beer and read the intructions carefully . I will give you some more info once mine is complete.
hmmmm, i havent paid anybody to ever work on anything of mine....nor would i ever. a lift kit is more or less just removing parts...and replacing them with bigger better parts. not too complicated at all. but if i were a shop owner i would need a minimun 3-4 hours of pay. depending on how easy all your old stuff comes out it may take longer or faster
yeah i wouldnt know where to begin ive seen how to do the body lifts but i know not to ever go beyond my limitations , so i dont f stuff up in the end i want it done right not cheep
a shop around here usually charges about 50/hr @ 3-6 hrs would be 150-300 depending on how the shop nickels and dimes you. This is lowball for an estimate though
