Arrow Body lift kit and suspension kits

Ok i have a new question which i think no one asked before. as some of you know i live in Egypt and all the parts i buy for my truck are from the US&A. so i wana know the size of the box and the weight of the body lift kit also, size and weight of the suspension kit. i got kicked last time when i shipped my LSD and 4.56 gears and paid 760 dollars and around 300 dollars taxes. so i need to know the weight so i can figure out the best way to ship them.
i am really hoping i can buy those parts and ship them cheaply. Do you think i need to buy a leveling kit or no? i have my TB cranked is that enough? will it make any difference? thanx guys

damn $300 in taxes. You American? I'd say the best thing to do is move to the USA. LOL. The body lift I think was like 40-50 lbs without gap guards.

How much is gas over there? Also, you can check eBay for weights on some lift kits. Some sites will also tell you the weight of their products.

as you notice in the pic i removed the black plastic part under the bumper so it gives it a better look when lifted. this black part used to hit the ground when i went off road. i hated it
