Everything is done. I got the back knocked out in no time, as usual with your standard lift block and longer shock install.

The Bestop/Amp Research steps were a pleasure to install. I know that sounds strange, but the kit was top notch and went together like no other set of steps I've installed have. I was very impressed with them, as was my customer. For $1000 a set, you would expect to be impressed though. The fact that they 99% disappear is amazing. The wiring harness was perfectly constructed and the perfect length. These really are tailored for each specific vehicle.

Well, it was my customer's truck, so I am not exactly sure how much everything was. He bought everything and brought it to me for the install.

It has the 4.7L V8 and stock gears.

Just going off of general market prices though...

Toyo Open Country MTs - $400 each
KMC XD Series wheels - $375 each
Fabtech 6" lift kit with shocks - $1660
Bestop power steps - $1388

Install - $550 (I am pretty affordable...expect double that from a shop)

Total - $6700

I didn't. My customer bought it, had it shipped to him, and brought it to me to install. I am not sure where he bought it.

Looks like an entirely different truck. Great work.
