I forgot to add my estimate is for a DIY'er parts only. Don't even know what a shop would charge to swap out all those suspension components. Only time I go to a shop is to get tires mounted or an alignment.

Any other experiences with 1" body lift kit. I just want a little more without the hassle of alignment issues on suspension. I have about an 1" from suspension, and 1" of lift from 2" bigger tires. As long as nothing else has to be altered. I see the fan shroud and underbody pane...

Re: Falken WildPeak AT3's

Anyone running these? Seem very popular on the light off roading crowd. I don't do any but I do travel gravel/back roads so I'd like a tire with some teeth.

I just went with the same setup as the OP in the rear moog 81119 and Bilsteins. Hoping for at least 1" of lift but not more than 2" was my goal due to the alighment issues. And all my control arms/ camber bolts look very rusted so I may be replacing them anyway. I also went with just the f...
