As far as the cost goes, this depends on if you are going to do the work yourself or not. The prices of all lift kits should be well posted. The most important thing to remember is to change your ring and pinion gears to match your new tire size in order to maintain your original RPM's and shifting of the vehicle. You also want to be able to drive at hiway speeds and be confident that your vehicle is safe. Your tires should perform well on the hiway as well as when you do some offroading. Do not overlook these issues as you will be very dissapointed and wished you'ed never made the changes before proper planning....... I just want to help you in the right way.
