I had
4 wheel parts put a 3" Pro Comp lift on my 4x2 AC 03'. It was about that price and included an alignment. It was great work. Truck drove straight, no squeaks or rattles, and they delivered it on time. That is worth the extra $$ for me.
I totally understand trying to get the best price and it is your truck and money. I just think about all the radical stuff they do to various 4x4's and a 3" Toytec lift is a piece of cake for them. Peace of mind. When I get back to town I am going to check out Chaco's rig. I swore I'd never lift a truck again but the itch is getting bad. Maybe some DT header's and a Toytec lift will be just the ticket.
Please keep us up to date if you find a good place that does good work for less. Thanks
