UAE455 I think that you should give all the information possible.

Exactly which lift =

any and all extras (even the brands) =

(previously mentioned) which rims and tires (tire spacers? etc...) =



The folks on here will probably have direct experience with the parts and know exactly how much it should cost to install.

Maybe I will see you around town, and I can be jealous of the lift...

The tires and wheels should not be much. I had mine rotated and balanced for 25 bucks. So I would think they r wanting at least $700 or more to put on a lift. That sound about right.

I did mine myself. But seams like a lot to me. I had a friend get a 6 inch lift for a silverado for 1200 and that's including installation.

I would say that sounds like an average price for installation.
