that kit costs less than $1300 on their site, which is usually more expensive than some other online sites...for an 02-08 at least

you could piece together a kit for alot less than that...3in spindles @300, 2.5in spacers @80, blocks/ubolts @75 and if 5.5 isnt enough, then get a body lift and theres 8.5 for $755 ish not including install

It does cost 1300 but what I like about directly through the supplier is that if anything goes wrong they'll have your back. I hate dealing with small places that just want your money and won't help you out if things go south.

Yeah but IMO, if you can install a lift on your own truck then you are mechanically inclined to fix anything else that comes up.

But If not mechanically inclined and need a shop to do everything for you, then your point makes sense

Yea I agree weed...although I was wondering how hard a crossmember lift was to install, I tried undoing the big 15/16 bolts holding the LCA and it just started rolling the bolt hea

Cross member drops were not hard on mine. I just took lose the LCAs and mounted the cross member and then the LCAs to it. Thats all there was to it.
