costs for lifting?

hello there,

my mom owned a dodge durango back in holland, and we all loved it. me and my mom wanted to lift it, but my dad was against it(:loser:).


we dont have the durango no more(because we moved to the caribean for 2 years, and now we live in the UK), which i really dont like. my mom drives a kia sorento at the moment(soon to be replaced by a mercedes vito business class, with 4 airplane seats:naughty:). now i can possibly live my dream of owning a '97-'02(i thought that were the years, confused somehow) durange, and live it, as im planning of moving to hawaii(maui) or socal, in 15 months.

i still have few old truckins here in my magazine collection. there are a few ads in it from 'truckin suspension' and 'fabtech' etc. i know those are good quality products, so thats not what im on about. what i do want to know is the following:

(part of the add)
'kits include front and rear'
4.5'' lift - $1195
6.5'' lift - $1295
9.5'' lift - $1395
*(add $100 for shocks).

i am, planning for the 9.5'' kit. so thats gonna cost me $1500. these are not extruded block kits, offcourse, but im sure most of you know which add im talking about.

im not completely retarted and i know i need to look out for tires and wheels(planning for the 44'' super swampers on 15x10 weld 51 stone crushers(polished finish), which will cost me around $4000:rolleyes:...anyone knows a slightly cheaper, but clean wheels setup? lol)

i also know i need to pay for the installation, but i dont know how much that will cost(any estimates?)

what more parts do i need to lift a truck?

thanks in advance.
