Opinion on lift kit

update, i just called another toyota dealership that is close by, and he told me if i have the parts they will charge 579 in labor. If i needed to buy the part, which he transferred me to the parts apartment, and said thy have 1 in stock at it was 465.74. so total before tax would be 1,044.74. the guy was about to tell me the part number, then i heard another guy say something and he then said in his system it just says lift kit. so i was like ok.. but that's $800 difference from the the first Toyota i went to. A shame

 

At those prices, I’d be looking at a set of Bilstein 6112 for the front and either matching rears or go with cheaper 5100 series. Most off-road shops will charge between $100-150 per wheel to install them and then pay for an alignment afterwards. If a dealership is charging over $1000 for a spacer at the front and a 1” rear block installed on your factory suspension, they’re screwing you big time.

May have to check around or wait for items to be on stock right now.

 

thanks, will look into it

 

I had SPC's on my 4Runner as they were economical, BUT, I have seen pics of them on other peoples' vehicles breaking on the trail so, there is that. If you are going to be doing some hard core off-roading, you probably should consider some Camberg UCA's or maybe Total Chaos. Zone Off Road make some pretty tough, yet economical UCA's, for consideration. Good luck!

 

I wont be doing any serious trail stuff, mostly just hunting trails in costal virginia (flatland), and the beach in the summer.
