i've decided it is time to lift the ole x. I want to put on the skyjacker six inch kit with some 35s even if it means minor fender triming. The only problem being i don't likegoing in without a good guess at what its gonna cost. Thats where I was hoping yall could help a fella out. Its a 93 x . thanks for the help

for lift, 35x12.50 Dunlop all terrain, and Mickey Thompson classic II's rims, it cost me $2500. That was including labor.
 






About the actual skyjacker lift, I don't know. I am sure someone here will.

BUT, you have to remember the added cost of your plans.

At least 15x8 wheels: min. $160+
35s: min $140+ each
Regearing: probably $1000+
If you have an open carrier, Locker in rear: $350+

These will basically be requirements to drive on 35s comfortably. I don't mean to sound like a kill-joy, I am just throwing some real world numbers at you. A lot of ppl think you can easily get 35s under an X for a few hundred dollars when they start, then "all the other" stuff hits them.

there is no MINOR fender trimming involved with just 6" and 35.... be prepared to chop to all hell and back.... so then you need a 3" body lift.... but ill give you a basic run down.....

$1240 for you 6" skyjacker lift...... this is the whole kit... includes everything you need.

you can get 35" tires for about $120 the uniroyal laredo mt's.... id take em over a bfg anyday.... tred patteren is way nicer.

3" body lift for about $65.

manual hub kit ( if you dont allready have ) will be around $190

steerin stabelizers ( which youll need with 35's ) are about 90 for duals.

then have a good it left over for bearings races and spindels.... cause 35's when not taken care of will eat the hub assembly on the TTB i know from much experience.
 






Is that $1240 for the skyjacker 6" class 2? If so, where did you find it for that price?
 






yes that is the price for the class 2..... www.natltire.com has the price.... they are probley the cheapest dealer on the east coast beign that they distribute to most of the dealers....
 






Does the system price include shocks and all other required parts because they said shocks are not included.
