Ongoing lift install price thread

Way up here in Canada I was referred to a guy in Dallas with TRD Parts4U. We are in the process of setting up my order. Attached is a quote he emailed me using Icon coil packs in the front, and OME rear shocks with Dakar leaf packs, should lift me about 2". He's shipping to ND where I will drive and pick up for about $100. Still under $1700. I'm going to attempt this install using the write ups here with the supervision of a retired Army Mechanic. I can refer him to you if you think this is an option for you. The parts guy, not the mechanic.

 

Haven't seen it yet so anyone know the price of installing a good but not expensive 3 inch front 2 inch rear ld veling kit

 

Got everything from ToyTec:

Billy 5100 front + 5125 rear = $320
Eibach coils = $167
OME/ Dakar leaf packs = $380
Longer U-bolts = $40
Brake proportional bracket = $10
exhaust relocation bracket = $12
Tax + Shipping = $83
New suspension install = $0 (me and my brother)

TOTAL. = $1,012

Lifetime alignment = $100



I'd recomend this set up! The eibachs give a full 3" up front. Im thinking about 2" longer shackles for the rear to give me another 1" of lift because I want a very slight rake. As of now im sitting very close to Level front to back.

 

Thank you for all this info. I just purchased the Toytec Ultimate kit including LR UCA's. AAL and Billies out back. Ran me about $1600 with the control arms and freight. Local frame shop installed (2.5 days!) and did the alignment for $800 (they replaced the brake pads for parts cost only at $54). The BFG's were $195 each. That' about the best $3400 I ever spent...drives like a dream.

 

2.5 days? Geez, I just put my own on. First time ever doing something like this and it only took 2 of us 7 hours.

I had a local 4wheel place quote me $525 to install my kit, decided to just do it myself.

 

The strongest tool in my toolbox is a credit card....and a BFH
This is an 05 with lots of Detroit rust on it.

 

Full OME "Light Duty Kit" with 885X coils, Dakar leaf packs, OME Sport shocks and struts, trim-packer and new u-bolts. I added XL leafs to the kit due to factory bed mat, Leer topper and frequent wood hauling.

Total was $1322.04 after taxes, and graciously delivered for free by the distributor (ouipack.com).

I'll have it in my hands tomorrow, and will make the decision at that point whether to install myself or have it done and will post install price at that point. My beautiful wife is 36 weeks pregnant, so I might just park it at my mechanic buddy's shop and let him take care of it when he needs a filler job while I'm off with the new little one.

Cheers.

Has anyone gotten a maxtrac spindle, billy 5100, and leaf pack installed? I have all the parts but no time to do it so I am thinking about getting a garage to do it. Any one have an estimate price range for labor and allignment for this?

 

I have a local shop putting my headstrong offroad maxtrac bundle on this coming Wednesday. Thought about doing it myself but a friend knows these guys and they are going to put it on for $300 including alignment.

 

any one know the going rate to install a set of Camburg UCA's and Icon coilovers? just the front suspension.. nothing on the rear yet

 

would i have any issues with bilstein 5100s set at 2.5 with the stock shocks?

 

Looks good! Are those the 2in n-fab steps?

Toytec/Eibach Coil-overs(assembled),,Sway Bar relocates,2 spanners=3" ...$750 with TW member discount code.!!
Install...$$?...2 busted,bloody knuckles, knot on back of head..2 Sore knees., and I was Forced to buy an entire(new) set of Impact sockets,and Gun,and maybe 50' of heavy duty 1/2" hose, and one small 2.0 Horesepower Air Compressor from Harbor Freight.....just for small driveway Mod's.....she..is..gonna..kill..me..

 

I've always wondered how much air pressure was needed in order to use air tools. So that 125 psi tank holds enough for impact gun?

 

Yup.......I actually have a Craftsman 19.2v impact that can do mostof my bolt/nut removal on the truck....but I have no rust........yet.

 

SeattleCoug,
What brand is that antenna mount and antenna (Firestick?).
Thanks
Arrowshot

 

The tailgate antenna mount is from Bay Area Metal Fabrication (B.A.M.F.) the member JLee on here owns the shop/runs that website. As far as the antenna itself goes, it's a Firestik 3' that I got off Amazon.


Here's a link to all of the CB items that I used with my set up:
