How much does it cost to install a lift kit?

This is probably our most frequently asked questions. It really depends mostly on what brand you choose, your vehicles make and model, and if any OEM parts need replacing.

However, in general a 6″ inch lift kit install will cost you $5000 installed.

How long does it take to install lift kit?

On average it takes about 8 - 10 hours to install a Suspension Lift Kit. Older trucks that are 5 years or more away from the current model year take longer most times. This is due to rusted bolts that might need to be burnt off. Also, these vehicles often have other non-lift lit parts that need to be replaced for ride quality and safety. 

Can I Install One Lift Kit On Another?

While in some rare situations this is possible, in general adding two different lift kits would not be recommended.

If you want to upgrade to a bigger lift kit you should remove the old kit first. and then get the new kit installed.

We can remove your old kit too. A small fee may may apply.

QUESTION: What is the earliest date I can get an install? Can I just walk in?

ANSWER: Yes and No. For something simpler like a tonneau cover install you can usually get in the shop same day or next day, however for lift kits and other more labor intensive installs please call and schedule an appointment. 

QUESTION: About how long is the install? Would I be able to wait around while it’s being done?

ANSWER: Yes and No. Installation time all depends on what we are installing and the complexity of the job. For example a 6 inch lift kit install is a two-day job but a leveling kit might be a couple hours.

QUESTION: Do you do safety inspections/brakes/as well or do you strictly install the custom parts and accessories?

QUESTION: Can you install a lift kit yourself?

ANSWER: Yes, however we don't recommend you trying it alone. It's not an easy job installing a lift kit yourself. If this is your main vehicle we advise letting a professional shop help you out.
