    I had my spindles installed at Sierra expeditions. They do great work.


    Edit: you will need UCA's, so get them installed as well since everything ill be removed.

    X2. Best shop is your garage (or a buddies). Besides the amount of money you save Id never trust a shop to do work on my truck

    I thought so as well, but they told me that most likely I would not need them. They would not be installing the additional .5" spacer so I would be at 2.5inch lift. They said that I would only need the UCA if I had an issue with alignment which would be the case if I went the full 3inches.

    how much is just labor cost?
    if it saves you having to work in the heat and messing with the spring compressor, i say pay for it.

    40 bucks and pepboys will swap the springs on your shocks and that still saves you a ton of money doing the install yourself

    If you come to our mini mod day Soldier, Im bringin spring compressors. Outkast is putting on Billies so he needs them anyways. we can get that stuff done for you.

    Also, Im not 100% sure, but I THINK my front is set up to the full 3 inches and i still have stock UCA's. My ride is a little rough, but that may be because of the crappy ProComp lift i have, OR, because of the UCAs. thats IF they are set up to the full 3.

    why would it be overpriced? the ome kit itself is over 1k, so they're only charging him less than 200 labor. somebody correct me if i'm wrong.
