I called fabtech thinking they might be able to recommend a place near me to have a lift kit installed and they said to try rms off road http://www.rmsoffroad.com/v4/go.gnf?s=offroad
Has anyone ever dealt with them or even heard of them?

 

[walnuts4x4]

if they are a dealer for Fabtech i would say go for it... otherwise look into any reputable shop that installs lifts.... just stay away from those fly-by-nite shops....

 

[thebeast1190]

The problem is I cant find a shop around here that will install the lift. I am going to give them a call but there a 50 mile drive from me and I have to go out there to get a quote.

Yea there 20s. I'm getting rid of them I want to go all black.

From what I've seen on there site they do great work I just hope they don't think I'm there to spend 15 grand.

I went out to rms today. They seemed very nice and helpful when I arrived. He took a look at my truck and then we sat down to discuss what I wanted. He said it would normally cost about $3800 for a six inch lift but would be about $4500 because of the 4 wheel air. That includes everything that needs to be done with the front of the truck and the coilovers. If it experienced driveline vibration it would be $1300 for the front and rear. Pro Comp wheels and tires (35s) would be about $1500. It would take about 1½ - 2 weeks. What do you guys think? With a $500 deposit I could bring it in around thanksgiving.

As a side note during my 40mi trip on the LIE it said I was getting 20.5 mpg.

Is that price with the kit ? or just labour ??? The tire and rim price seems good, I might be selling my tire and rims in the spring. Is $1300 for new front and rear drivr shafts?

 

[thebeast1190]

That's with the kit. If he said $4500 for labor.......forgot your Canadian labour I think I would have just walked out the door lol. The $1300 is for new drive shafts. Has anyone not had driveline vibration after they added a lift?

 

[thebeast1190]

Just noticed the quote in your sig. I have always planed on having that embroidered on my dash when I get my interior redone.

 

[SourMashII]

I spent a quarter of that on my new shafts. Including new flanges, they added a .. words escape me, but the new t-case gave me a SYE (if we were a Jeep), so they had to ... (fug it). had to add a slip yoke into the shaft. I know thats not the right term, but.....

$289.95... I will fly to new york, with your new shafts, and install them for $1200, shipping to me is your dime.... ....

great saying

The price is OK if they are good , I've always done everything myself so not sure labour prices. But I just bought 6" Fabtech Kit for $1500 although no air in mine, it wwas a EBAY deal. but $2500 seems what your kit is worth other places so $2000 for labour. I'm guessing but 10 hours of labour maybe 2 guys works out to $100/hr. I guess for a good quality shop. Sucks thats alot of coin for other stuff.

 

[thebeast1190]

That's the problem I don't know how much the labor should cost. Ive searched around google and have seen anywhere from $500 to over $1500 for the install. The the air adds another $700 apparently. If I hadn't added so much to it already it would be cheaper to trade it for one with no air ride. I wish I could do installs myself. Would save tons of money. My lack of automotive skill kills that dream.

 

[SourMashII]

No, that was self installed on the shafts, that is what I am saying, if the shafts are $1300, installation is an hour tops, thats smoking and drinking beer, bulshitting with your bro.. sorta thing. All the rest of it sounds about right.. the driveshaft thing seemed high

 

[thebeast1190]

Its $1300 with installation. From what your saying that does seem high. Don't you also need some kit from fabtech when you do it? Maybe that's the difference in the price.

 

[Canadian Expy]

Yeah they have rear trailing arms . not sure what they do ,they must be longer, a know Zone lift kits move all 4 rear trailing arms in there kit. So if it includes though then not a bad price.
