First off, the dealers mark upthe trucks w/ lifts and all the bling bling on them a good $10,000. Not worth it, especially if you want to go another route w/ a suspension down the road. Don't be that sucker. Also the lifts that they put on are for looks and riding in them feel like crap (pavement queen). Stick w/ what you got and do your own suspension/tires/wheels for less if that what you want to do w/ your truck.

When i bought my truck, they had a few jacked up trucks on the lot. Look at the little sticker next to the invoice or msrp. it is titled ADM or

Additional Dealer Markup. THis is hwere they HAVE to tell you the price of what they added to the truck. Well, what they are charging anyway. Most of the time, you will be shocked to see they are charging you 2800 for a $1700 lift. and 2500 for 1500 in tires/rims. 1000 for a six hundred dollar grille guard. etc.

Not all of them do this, but 99% seriously over charge for these parts.

My suggestion is go look, see what it has, and what they are asking for it/each additional part. Get prices on what these items would cost you online and to do yourself, or even at a shop. You will be suprised at how much cheaper it is to add yourself.
