Hey. I have a question. Does anyone know a ball park estimate on how much a shop may charge to install a lift kit. It would probably be a 4 or 5 inch lift on an 85-85 4runner? This might be very vauge. I am just trying to get a ballpark figure.

 

not sure about your area but before I did mine the place I was gonna buy it from wanted $3500 for the lift and install.
The lift was $1200 the rest was install
So I out smarted them and bought the lift on line for $900 and spent the weekend doing the install myself. If you got the time and place you should do it yourself.

 

How are are lifts to install? I am handy but I am not super skilled or anything.

 

and isnt yours and IFS. Would a solid axle lift be cheaper?

 

Solid axle lifts are really easy, you just gotta swap in the lift springs, longer shocks, and extend the brake lines, but with A 5 inch lift you may have to get longer driveshafts, I'm not positive on that though.

 

That doesnt sound too hard. I will have to look into it more. I am hoping to pickup a 4runner soon!
