Looks great Darren,

Give us verticaly challenged a breakdown on what we could expect, out of pocket,
to get ours off the ground.

This shop charged $350 for the body lift + $300 install.  Some places were quoting $800 for the install so you want to shop around.  What kills you is the rubber and don't ask how much that was....     

[Darren]

From the one pic which shows the front tire, it appears you still have the original Bilstein's in place??  I would think you will over extend the stock shocks and blow out the seals?

Yep, there stock.  Only time will tell how they hold up but this is not my daily driver.  I have only put 4K on it since I bought this one in Aug.

I like the way your truck looks with the lift and big tires. That is along the line of how I would like my truck to ride. Great job on this.

With a body lift you shouldn't affect the shocks at all. They are attached to the suspension.

I put a body lift on our 93 Sub a few yrs back and it was only $129, but that was a fewl yrs ago. The install wasn't bad at all, I had never done one before and pulled into into our auto hobby shop on base at around 8 am and rolled out at around 4 pm with new tires and all. Worst part of the whole thing was having an extension welded on the shifter linkage and the front bumper bracket relocators.

I'm still not showing Gina your pics.

Correct but he put the 2" Readylift up front, just keep an eye on the stock length Bilstein's.  You should be good on the rear with the stock shocks since you didn't do anything back there. 

Enjoy, she looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't know yet.  We really have our last bball practice that night.  The 15th is our last game.  I may decide to cancel the practice and go to the GTG instead-just not decided as of yet.
