Do the lift! make sure you have the money to replace your tie rod ends, the stock ones won't last long with the leveling kit. I put some napa brand ones in and haven't had any problems

And have a set of sway bar links handy, because chances are they will break during removal.

all in all how much would this project cost to do the body lift, and buy the suggested parts such as tie rod ends and sway bar links?

Body lift $245 (summit racing)
- Labor DIY Free! or $6-800
Leveling kit $100
- Labor probably around $100-150 (pretty easy project in the garage though)
Tie rod ends plus alignment and labor i paid $300
sway bar links $70ea Dealer only part....

looking at $1600 max and remember the bulk of that is getting the body lift installed.
