Default Full Traction 6" Long Arm Suspension Systems

I know its almost impossible to come up with an exact amount. What should I expect to pay to have this lift installed with new driveshafts and new gears?

Yeah I know. I have 6K to spend and I am just trying to find out what path to take. Run 35s and go with a short arm kit and maybe have some cash left over for bumpers or just focus on a 6 inch lift, 37's and driveline mods worry about bumpers later.

10K? Are you kidding? For that money, forget the lift and go to Burnsville Offroad for a Hemi install... then save up for a lift!

I am awaiting my FT LA 4" installation to be completed this week. The 6" should be comparable. I think it's just the spring lengths that differ, maybe a tad more expensive.

Check out my signature for the other items I am adding.

I'm hoping less than $10K

I'll post how much the tab is when I get it as long as I survive the shock, and my wife doesn't find out too soon.

are you serious? a new 5.7 crate is ~ $3600. I would guess a huge chunk of the cost is labor, but

Dan,

How much have you spent on your setup?

How do you like your Clayton 3.5? I was thinking about the 4.5 Clayton.
