    Oh you DEFINITELY can. Shoot Marie a PM. I'm thinking you should be able to get everything out the door (parts and labor) around $1500

    Ya I shoulda clarified, I don't want a low end set up if I'm going with a lift. I'll have to see some prices for a kit compatible with my truck. The kits I saw on line were 2K and up.

    I can assure you, you can. Like others said, hit up Marie with Headstrong. If you ever plan on off-roading it, you should really learn how to install it yourself in case something ever goes wrong on the trail.

    Ok I'll check it out, probably over the weekend. Money is not an issue. I was look'n at leveling kits because I don't really ever plan on taking it off road.

    The price for the leveling kits seem to be all pretty close/same range/ballpark. When I talked with one of the local shop the kid said he has done thousands of those leveling kits. With no issues mind you.

    I do get a laugh out of the guys that say "$300/$400 for a kit in a 30-40K truck doesn't make sense". That's laughable, a leveling kit is just blocks, no hi tech science or hi cost technology. They've been around forever. Its sole purpose is to level the vehicle, not lift it for off roading.

    Anyway, I've got to decide which way to go. Thanks for everyone's input/suggestions. Much appreciated.

    Better suspension parts will provide a better driving/handling truck. I dont see the purpose of lifting without upgrading. And I dont leave the pavement either.

    i would go with a quality kit even if it's 100% going to be on the pavement... you still want your ride quality to be nice on the road. (pre-loaded springs that you get with a leveling kit ride like crap)

    I replaced the suspension on my 2016 4Runner and now it's lifted and rides BETTER than stock.

    hope all this info helps make your decision! good luck!
