Anybody know roughly what a shop charges for body lift install? My local shop tried to sell me a "3'in. suspension lift. which was $2K plus... which i figure with the "PA" body lift kit at about $300 or less.. the body lift is still the way to go,, hmmmmmm.

 

The shop i work at charges $350-$500 to install it.

 

Install is about 6-8 hours. At a normal shop rate of 80/hour, I'd say about 500 or 600. Also gap guards are something you should look into, so about another 80 bucks.

 

thanx forum.........good info.. !!!

 

Why not install it yourself? I had never done a suspension lift or a body lift before but i did my own.

Just a thought on a way to save a ton of money

 

good idea! seems very entailed with seperating the body and putting those spacers all around... will look into sum things thou..

 

Yea I did mine too and im not especially mechanically inclined...not that bigga deal honestly, just takes some time and following steps

 

Docs with the PA kit are VERY good. Have done three of 'em before doing my current suspension lift.
Not a very hard job, just time consuming.

Local shops in my area are around $600 for a body lift install, except 4 Wheel Parts who runs around a grand...

 

after doing it by myself during my days off, I would now say that if you had the extra $600 it might would be worth it...if you are wanting to learn how and have a few buddies to help its a cool job but its kinda tedious if you dont really have about two strait days off

 

Look man, I had never done a lift before in my life. But when it came down to doing mine I had no one there to help but me. As Hammer said, the directions in PA's kits are very good. I followed them and had no issues. Some things I could skip because I could see there were not needed so it saved time.
