This is true.

I thought I saw some posts about some of the kits fitting with 17" wheels, is this true. The last I looked into it, all the kits required 18" or bigger?

Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks

Hey who's with the zone. How are your rear shocks? I just got mine all bolted up and the rear is super super bouncy. Everything went in great nice and easy but the bounce is really really bad. I also upgraded to the black nitros. Any help???

Lifts
 
I own a repair shop and do many lifts, I also repair many lifts installed poorly normally a cheap deal. I will tell you it is all day job with mounting the tires if you are going to do it properly which includes anti seizing all bolts and applying locktite at all specified locations and dialing in the alignment perfectly. I have been a Master Tech for 30 years and always love to hear about all the good deals heck it brings me more work in the long run. My motto the pain of poor workmanship lasts longer than the value of low price 800.00 is a fair price plus 89.00 for an alighnment. 4 wheel parts by me employs subpar help as do most repair shop chains young inexperienced help because they are cheap, I only employ top Quality Master Techs that make 30.00 per hr. If you have never wrenched for a living you would not understand, that is why reuters rates it the 3rd worst profession to be in for the knowledge you have to have is not worth the pay. I repair everything aerial lifts , generators, lift gates, diesels , trucks and cars and believe me its worth more than 100.00 pr hr.

So I'm stuck folks.

Both of the shops I'm considering to have my lift installed are either a 20 min drive or almost an hour drive. The shop 20min from me can install it 600 out the door with alignment. They have good ratings and are legit.(Both places are really). The shop 50min from me has excellent ratings but I think is a much smaller shop and they aren't open on weekends. I calculated it out

Diablo 50min drive
1853 kit
+550 for install+alignment
=2403
-400 Rebate from Rancho
=2003 altogether.
+ 20.80 for gas(3.80/Gal x 3)x2
=2023.80 all said and done

Swat 20min drive
1853 kit
+600 install+alignment
=2453
-400 Rebate from Rancho
=2053 altogether

I think I'm going to go with the 2053 altogether.
