Nice!

was quoted $469 for the RCX lift i need..... (yes i'm THAT good)
just dropped $330 on shackle flips and shackles (far superior than blocks better ride than add a leafs)
$130 for Procomp es3000 shocks, (i went cheap)
for a total cost of $929 for a 6" lift. (i "may" upgrade my front torsion bars to XG bars)

up next is an axle regearing
Front diff $75
Need rear diff, don't want to rebuild what i've got..... may have to though.

$929 ain't bad, and if mine were a DD that I cared about the ride on I would have looked into doing just what you did.

yeah, i thought it was pretty good. i had a 3" lift on the truck for a while and while it was ok..... i wasn't happy with my CV angles i knew i needed to go to a bigger lift to get flatter angles.... if that makes sence... so i reserched the **** out of it and had pretty much given up until i saw my tax return.... i need to redo all the bushings upfront, and i'll likely redo the ball joints too.... (NOT happy about drilling those massive rivets out)

I'm doing all my steering stuff while I am doing mine too, you should look into that.

$469 is a great price. Mind sharing how you managed that and where from? PM is fine with me, I want to do the same setup your getting one day.....

well.... i used to be a tech, so i still use the dealership my brother works at as my place of employment... don't think that made a huge difference but i only needed the front part of the lift and no shocks. i just had to call them and tell them what i needed EXACTLY. they had to price each spific box i needed. basicaly for the set up i'm using you need boxes 1-3 and make sure to CALL them, don't do it online.
