Re: lift?

I paid about 1200.00 for mine. Took about 5 hours to put in...The TM 5" keeps it more on geometry than any others made.

Re: lift?

Pretty much... Minor welding involved... Overall pretty simple. Then just got it aligned afterwards

Re: lift?

300 is more than reasonable for a suspension lift!

Re: lift?

haha, 3" for $80 would most likely be a body lift. If it is suspension, maybe it's just one LITTLE piece of the "kit".

Just make sure whatever kit you go with has all the stuff you will need (like brake line extentions, TC drop if necessary, pitman arm, etc.)
