Not a ton of research on it. Was told it was a good option to lift it more. It's the skyjacker lift 4-5" lift w hydro shocks

You still haven't said what sort of off-roading you've done...

So for $1,500 they will install the lift, two new drive shafts plus the cai and throttle body mod?

Two really good drive shafts can run you $1,000

I like doing tough off road trails All the time. I'm getting all this done for 1650 installed. Now debating if I should do anything else like re gear but only have 1500 more to spend

You think just the 4.1? With about 35 tires? Think I can get all that for under 1500? Lol

I tend to agree something doesn't sound right. You might want to get a list of specific parts they plan to install. Professionally installed lift and driveshafts with labor expenses would far exceed $1650 for these parts.

I also think 5" of lift sounds like a lot for what you're aiming for, unless you do want to go to 37s now. Even them, may be better with les lift and flat fenders.
