im gonna buy a 5" rough country suspension lift, does it require anything else? like as far as a longer driveshaft or anything?

 

The instructions say nothing about needing longer driveshafts. And that is actually a good price for a 5 inch lift.... (on sale, 795.00)

One thing I DID notice though, was this disclaimer in the installation instructions:

Mixing component brands, lifts, and/or combining body lift with suspension lifts voids all warranties.

Interesting. Wonder if all lift companies feel the same way?

 

What Year is your truck ....I put mine on with a friend in about 20 hours total ....I would suggest a dual steering stabilizer

 

yea i dunno if they all void it, but i only plan on gettin the suspension lift for now anyways so i dont gotta worry bout that.when my 33's wear out im puttin 35" nitto mud grapplers on.

 

and its a 01', and yes i am gonna do the dual steering stabilizer, but im gonna have to play someone to install the lift and all for me cuz i dont have the tools here with me where i live

 

That was more of a curiosity thing than anything else. You didn't mention a body lift at all. ( I don't care for body lifts. but, that's another debate. )

If we are looking at the same kit, they list install time as around 6 hours..... Of course, that is probably for someone that had done it 50 times, has more tools than sears, and a hoist.

 

yup exactly! im in the military and i dont live in the same state as my tools, so yea and i live in a town house so they dont really like you doin a lift in the parking lot. how much you think someone would charge?

 

That kit is a complete kit and should include everything. I believe they have coils, contro arms, drop sway bar bracket, pitman arm, drop track bar bracket, shocks, and rear add-a-leafs or blocks. You don't need anything else...no longer driveshafts are needed so you should be good to go!

 

At least 300 bucks. (six hours, times a lowball guesstimate of 50.00 bucks an hour for labor)

Does the base have an auto hobby shop? You don't really need any esoteric tools to install the lift.

 

thanks alot guys. just wanted to double check before i spent the money.
