Took the Chevy off road a little this weekend

I guess it depends on the kit and how much fab'ing a guy is willing to do... From what I've seen I think after all is said and done it would be hard to do it for <$6000 without some serious skill... If I were to do it it would run about $3000 just for the kit including rear suspension lift, then another $1000-$2000 for the front axle. I've seen guys do it with no kit and just buying an axle, springs, steering components and fabricating their own spring mounts, shock mounts, etc...but I definitely don't have the space, tools or time to be able to tackle that. And the skill, well I'm a bit rusty! Comparitively it's not that bad of a cost though, the ORU SAS kit costs $16,000!! That price is a joke!

For some reason, I cannot get the z71 stickers to not show up, it must be the way the light hits it. You cannot see them on the tailgate as well and they are the exact same.
I went ahead and ordered the lift kit, wheels and tires for the wife's toy today.
