Default installation price

So called up 4 wheel parts and had them look up price on a BL well they can get one with gap gaurds from PA for 209.98. Here is the kicker they want 700 for installation
Is it that hard.

Thia lift will be going on a 2002 f150 5.4L FX4. If ya got pica or know links with pics that would be amazing.

Jdubb he's talking about a body lift...

Check P.A.'s website for installation instructions...

It's not a fun job but can be done in about 6 hrs with the right tools if everything goes well. If not, it can take up to 12 hrs...

They probably would but may give you a better installation price if you buy it from them...

You can do this yourself with the proper tools...

I did mine in the driveway... Garage was too full of toys...

Go on the performance accessories site and read the instructions...

I used a jack, a 4x4 on the plate up to a 2x4 on the body...

The bed I just put my shoulders and head in the wheel well and lifted and put the spacers in by hand...

You only do one side at a time, not the whole body at once.... It's easy if you know your way around a wrench and a grinder, just very time consuming...
