$1200 for 5100 and a rear block?!

 

Cool. Thanks for fast replys. Yeah my issue here is finding way to get it installed, lack tools and know how to do it. And no apparent interest in Georgia forums on here, all good though, hunt continues.

 

It's the labor. 5100s are priced right, but still.. $1200 and all you get is adjustable shock up front and a 1" steel block for the rear? That's not an expensive lift. I'd throw out an offer in Georgia section and see if someone is willing to help (still) for lunch and some cash or something like that. But you're paying $1200 for an alignment, $300 worth of shocks and a rear block.

I reserve the right to not know what the hell I'm talking about, but that seems a lot of money for a little bit of stuff

 

thats a ridiculous amount for front 5100's and a block

 

Totally missed that $15 for lube and towels. Yeah, fuck those guys. That's included in the cost of business, not a passed to customer cost. Surprised they didn't hit you for air compressor wear and tear, electricity, toilet water and paper too

 

Just order a kit for toytec. You can get the 3 in OME for $700. Then shop around to have it installed if you cant do it your self.

 

Thanks guys!! Appreciate the input ill keep searching for help with the install and probably end up with the OME kit i see so many folks on here go with.

 

OP, if you really want someone to install everything look into traveling over
to JeepHut. I know they specialize in jeeps but I know they install lifts on other
vehicles and also sell tires. The owner is a friend of mine.

I really got into jeeps and did the lift myself with 1 or 2 guys lending a hand.
The biggest positive to install yourself is you really learn your truck and will
know more about it down the road if something feels off.
