Default How Much $$$

I'm buying a bodylift for my '07 2WD Supercrew, 2.5 front & 1.5 rear...I don't have the means to lift the entire vehicle during install and am forced to get a professional installation (probably for the best). Any ballpark numbers as to what I can expect to pay for this service?

Your body lift is gonna have to be the same in front and back. Can't level a truck with one

The local shop in Toledo told me 1300.00 for a 3 inch body lift installed... I have heard from 1000.00 to 1500.00

A body lift, lifts the body, you cannot lift the front(cab) and the bed(rear) different amounts.

Well, I mean, technically you could, but nobody makes a kit for that and it would look really really silly cuz the bed would be sitting a inch and a half lower than the cab and the body lines wouldn't match.......



Me thinks you are tallking about a 2.5 leveling kit in the front and a 1 inch block on the rear axle, which should look...........

Ya thats what i would guess from that description. The body lift every one seems to use on here is the 3" PA lift. Where are you getting the lift from? The lift you are looking at seems like a small suspension lift. To install a front leveling kit and rear block, you would only need some jacks and jackstands.

You don't need to be able to lift the whole truck. The kit is designed to be installed without. If you have a jack and a2x4 you can do it. That's how I did mine. The instructions tell you to lift one side at a time, not all at once.
