    And at the end of my day I was shopping around for quotes from people on a Tacoma forum website that have skills on bolt on installs. That’s all I was doing and sorry I used the word steal, I should of used a better word and explanation. For me it was about the bid price on all the qualified bolt on installers to do the job I needed.

    I know you helped me out in a pinch and I have not forgotten. I plan to return the parts to you, life has not exactly gone as planned. I can only offer an apology at this point as I am still working to fix my truck.
    My point was only exactly as you stated, your time is not worth a 400 to 600 bolt on lift.
    And yes your work is only shit I can dream about because it above and beyond what i really need. I want a Lamborghini too, but not practical for anything I intend to accomplish in life.
    Thanks for the help again.
    :cheers:

    I don’t even remember what the parts are brother. You can keep them. I definetly don’t need them back. My goal wasn’t to call you out and get them back.

    Since I sell parts you’d be suprised how many bolt on lifts we still fit in. After jobs like the ones I’ve got going on now that tend to turn into huge time sucks it’s nice to take a break and do a few jobs that the labor hours are predictable on.

    I get it dude. That’s why I totally understand when guys go with cheaper options. Everyone’s needs are different.
