Well, if you started pricing out the 3 link materials like joints, and tubing, and panhard stuff....that coupled with the coilovers...you would look at close to $1500 just for that. Then you need to factor in the bracketry, and various other misc components to the setup.

I would be willing to bet the "kit" would go for around $2K+.

I say, do it yourself if you can.

i know he has been driven it on the street a bunch. i havent hierd if there are any issues. it might be a little slinky in the corners but nothing thats out of the norm. i will ask this week when i stop by.

my buddy drives this one everyday back and forth to work with no issues. basic same design

I was looking at the pics of this kit and it looks like this truck is a 3.0 V6. I also noticed that the hoops come through the fender wells. Just curious as to how the intake plumbing is routed with this kit and how the other accessories were moved/relocated. Do you have a picture of the engine bay. Curious as to how much work is required under the hood alongside with the actual suspension installation. Looks like a killer kit though!

The hoops do come up and over the 3.0

The limiting factor on this is the exceedingly narrow stock Toy solid axle, lots of mounts in a little space.

The truck works well on the trail, but needs the leaves to break in or get a cool linked rear to match the front.

How much does a high end leaf spring swap with custom springs and rebuildable/revalvable shocks cost? Coilovers give more adjustability and carry a premium price because of it.
