    Ok. Stop. Look at bilsten 5100 adjustable and a deaver add a leaf. Stay away from spacer and blocks if you can. Don't get me wrong they do the job and lift the truck. The way i just said is about 70 dollars more and way safer. Call Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road

    $550 for shitty shocks and extra bullshit parts?

    5100's and OME coils plus and AAL will be about the same price and you'll end up with a much better suspension.

    You don't even really need coils / springs but they do help keep the preload off yhe front shock. Meaning you can keep setting at 0 and still achieve same lift

    Anyone seen my wallet?
    Yeahhh no. Agree, dont do that. Tell them to kick rocks for even putting that on paper.

    Buy a quality setup as mentioned above, post in your local subforum and you might even be able to have installed for some beer and pizza. Thats how we roll in dfw anyways.

    Thanks for the honest replies! I'll be looking into 5100s or OMEs, I appreciate it.

    Also keep in mind that at 3" of lift in the front you will definitely want upper control arms. Your alignment will be shit without them.
    Here is a 2" lift from headstrong for around $600 shipped.

    If you get them coilovers preassembled the install isn't really all that hard. Find a buddy, a few beers and pizza. YouTube is your friend.

    The clue here is the labor increase if you bring your parts. Gives you a hint how much they lose in profit by you not buying their pile.
