Looking Good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Quietman, :-wink nice pic's.
If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for the lift?
I have an 03 x and im really considering lifting it, depending on cost.:-huh
It sounds like your application didnt hurt ride or much of anything. Have you found any downfalls yet?
Thanks Jeff

Thanks Jeff.

The front kit: TS424 = $552.57
The rear kit: TSBK? = $41.95
The track bar TS 451 = $164.95
The shocks: Bilstein 5100 4@$105 each = $420
The Alignment: Includes twice, at finish and after two weeks = $95
Plus rotate and re-balance tires. (not bad!)
The Labor: $275

With tax, etc. it was $1,641 out the door...

I could have saved $40X4 or $160 by usung fabtech shocks instead of the Bilsteins. I could have saved another $165 by not using a new adjustable track-bar. Plus tax on both.

Not changing the ride on smooth roads was a big priority, I love the way the Ex rides, my brother-in-law is selling his Suburban after riding in mine. The ex is superior, and of course is much superior in towing/mileage etc. already.

So I opted to keep the stock springs. I have heard that some aftermarket springs also ride well, and some consider swapping all four springs as a more "correct" way to accomplish a lift.

I am very happy myself with mine. More as I put lots of off-road, towing and baja miles under the wheels, plus around town with my wife and five kids.
