Default is 500-600 bucks reasonable....

I want to do the front end leveling kit so I can get some 20x10 wheels all around on my truck with some nice meaty 33" tires. I want to have a shop do it professionally because its torsion bars and like hell im messing with that. i called them and they said between 500-600 bucks. I got the keyways I just need the shocks...the install...and the alignment. I'd do it myself but I do not feel like unloading torsion bars without the appriate tools...which cost a few hundred bucks.

doesnt sound too unreasonable, id call a few other shops in your area though. to see if thats the going rate. you have to get it done to get those mud slingers on the truck!!!

im pretty sure you can fit them on there with the way it is now. when my dad got his new tires on his 4x4 with 20s they told him that his factory tires were 32.9s so going up just a little should be do-able without the leveling kit.

I put Nitto Terra-Grapplers 305/50/20 on my truck with stock ride heighth. They end up being approx 33" tall and about 12-12.5" wide with absoutley NO rubbing at all. They are wonderful tires. I really like them alot. They are much more aggressive than the stock Goodyear 20's, but yet they are much quieter than I expected them to be.

you do know that u can just crank the torsion bars a bit and you will fit easily 33's on there..... i think its possible to fit 35's on with very minimul rubbing only with the wheels cranked all the way.... id save my 500 bucks and do it that way

I'm in NJ and it only cost me $175.00 to have the keys installed and that included the front end alignment.
