Default What did you guys pay

I was at a Smiths earlier and saw this guys lowered GMC talked to him about putting a lowering kit on mine (3/4) he said he would charge me a couple hundered depending on what the kit consist of so my question to you all is how much did you pay for your kits to be installed, by the way the truck was slammed and he did a c-notch himself so im thinkin and hoping he knows what he is doing.

I paid $250.00 to have my MG 2/4 installed which consisted of spindles, shackles, and hangers. Also, don't "hope" for anything! Talk to people and find someone or somewhere to do it that has a good reputation for doing quality work. The one thing you don't want is someone doing a Mickey Mouse hack job on your pride and joy. Be responsible and do the research, you'll be happy you did.

For shocks I've heard the best of things from the Doestch(spelling) shocks. They are some premium shocks if I may add. Oh yeah, a c-notch will definetly help you out and ride comfort. The NBS trucks tend to bottom out really easy.
