Ongoing lift install price thread

Do the front struts from AutoAnything come pre-assembled?

 

Never seen an AutoAnthing.com sale or promo code I could use. Their exclusion lists are usually super long.

 

Don't forget the $20.95 OVERNIGHT shipping costs lol

Yeah, I was gonna finally grab the @AirBedz mattress and get a replacement rear seat floor liner from @WeatherTech as well, but needless to say they're both on that exclusion list

 

Thanks for the code! I just saved over $40 for the icon aal on my stage 2 setup!

 

Hi guys, I just purchased a '16 Sport double cab and eventually want to get it lifted with slightly bigger AT tires. I would like maybe a 2" suspension lift. I live in San Diego. Can anyone give a "ball park" figure of what it'd cost to get this done? (I wanna know approx. how much to start saving for LOL!) I don't care about the top of the line names or products. And I apologize but I am totally a newbie/beginner when it comes to trucks and stuff (although I've owned a truck previously) Thanks for ANY info!

 

If you want a real suspension lift start saving about $1,500 or so.

If you are willing to use spacers (some call them pucks) you can do it very cheaply. These don't enhance your suspension any (I.e. not OffRoad enhanced).

 

Thanks brother, appreciate the info!

 

Also, dumb question but what do the numbers on the tires mean again? 265/70/17 - I know has to do with width/height/depth?

 

The 265 = 265mm tire width
The 70 means the sidewall height is 70% of the width
The 17 = 17" wheel diameter

 

Struggle might not be too real, if you haven't ordered... despite what @AutoAnything told me prior to purchasing last friday (shipped within 24-48 hrs), I just found out that they are back ordered until March 11th... I'm probably going to cancel my order and give Wheelers a call.

Perhaps that ICON lift might be your better option .

 

I went with OME and I'm waiting until March. Not in a hurry. Wheeler's couldn't price match and their shipping would have been $170...

 

If Wheeler's could come down about $100 from what their current sale is, I'd spend the 8 1/2-9 hrs and drive down there this weekend to pick up their kit and save the shipping costs (would probably be a better use of my time this weekend anyhow, and I'm sure I could have all kinds of fun looking around down there)

 

Hey guys. Total newbie to lifting trucks. I was quoted $250 to install a set of 5100's up front of my taco with stock coils and such. Does that sound about right?

 

Hey Joey, I'm a fellow newbie as well. Man, that sounds like a great price LOL Where are you located? I'm in San Diego and looking to get mine done the same as you (front lift with 5100s).

 

I'm located in southern Maryland. Kind of a long way from San Diego. Lol

 

HAHA almost total opposite end of the nation! I'm assuming it's way cheaper over out east then huh?

 

It might be. I have an awesome mechanic that is a certified Lexus and Toyota mechanic that I go to locally.

 

Hey Guys - What would be a reasonable amount for a legit shop to charge for a complete Headstrong Bundle 4" lift kit install (Mantric spindles/ 5100's front/ OME intros rear, OME Dakar leaf pack/ cbd kit/ brake lines); all parts have already been purchased. I know a lot of you guys are doing it yourselves (I lack the skills), and not that I've got a bunch of money laying around, but I'd like to have some recourse if God forbid something were to go wrong. I found a local shop that wants $1020, including alignment and transfer of TPMS sensors. Without the 5100's installed up front it was only $710. These numbers seem a little high to me considering what Headstrong says should be sufficient time to install, even at $100/ hr. Any input is greatly appreciated as I am trying to get this done this week.
Thanks much in advance for your help,
Frank

 

I've been quoted at $550 for an OME with Dakar install at a shop here in Texas.

 

So the only difference with yours is no spindles and no transfer of TPMS sensors. Does that include alignment?
