If you purchase the Pro Comp kit, you need to also purchase part #56701 which is the transfer case indexing ring. The Pro Comp kit places the CV shafts at really severe angles, often causing premature failure of the front CVs, driveshaft and/or transfer case. This $279 optional component brings the angle down close to stock.

On another note, still have yet to see anyone beat Rough Country on the price for a 6" kit ($900).
I vote on Rough Country also because it is so cheap. And they have front and rear crossmember drops now too. As for installation costs, I did mine all by myself. Just take the front wheels off, swap the spindles and add the coil spacers and put the blocks or shackles on the rear. Then go get an aligmnent. I have never done one before but I did my own.

It's included.

And the transfer case indexing ring has nothing to do with the cv shafts. The kit includes drop brackets for the diff that will leave the cv angles at, or better than, stock. The indexing ring is to correct for the front drive shaft angle. And it's included.
