Hey I was wondering if anybody lived near Fort Myers, FL??? Are anywhere near Tampa Florida and could give me a hand putting a lift on my truck. It is going to cost me $500 to get it lifted professionally. Can anybody help me, I can pay and get some beer or something. Anybody in FL willing to help. Thanks.

Hey Joe, nice to hear from you. I live less than a mile away from Sun Busters. How much did you pay for yours? I was a PA 3'' lift. Yeah Im in school, I graduate from Edison in late June. When are you coming home? Maybe we could hook up and put the lift on or something, Im to poor to pay $600 for the lift, when it could cost only $200 for the lift and put it no myself. Shoot me an email, take care.

No crap man. I graduated from ECC last year. What you plan on doing after that???

About the lift. I had sunbusters do mine for $500 total. They bought the lift and shipped it and all. I have had no problem with it at all. They have done very nice work on my truck. They welded the bumpers on in the proper alighment with the lifted body, took care of all the brake lines, and stuff. Good people.

I am not gonna be home for a while. I have exams til 4-29. then summer school starts a couple weeks after that. Plus I have never installed a body lift before. have you? What kinda time are you looking to do the lift? If not for a month maybe I will down there. Just a thought man. Later man. Shoot me this info and maybe we can work on it...

Im probably going to get some sort of full time job while going to night class at FGCU this fall. I want to be a sports reporter. What are you going for?

I called Sun Busters and they told me about $559. I dont have that kind of dough to waste.

Did you get bigger tires put on also? If so what did you get? What else have you done to your car, performance and exterior? Got any pics? I

put a body lift on my isuze a couple of years ago, not to bad. I was thinking about maybe doing the lift in May or sometime in the summer, I dont know? Shoot me an email, take care.

Hey Josh,
everything here is good. No classes on fridays so my long weekend is here!!!!!
Im in school now for a masters in Building construction. just switched from architecture. Too long of a program. I hae been in school 3 years now, and have 3 more to go. Well see what happens...
what year truck do you have? I have a 1990 2wd. Sunbusters lifted it 2in susp., and 3in body. I already had Amer. racing Nitros rims, so on went the 31x10.50s. In the mean time, I put a 2in shackle lift on the rear, did all the exterior stuff, roll bar, grill/brush guard, fender flairs, aux lights. Inside I got a 1000 Watt system including Sony, MTx, pioneer, infinity stuff. APC steering wheel, blue neons, etc. Engine Ive got the 3.9L. edelbrock headers, K&N intake, Jacobs ignition system, 8.5mm accel wires, no cat, flowmaster exhaust, and a few other things. bla bla bla. Ive done alot to it. Way too much $$$ And my $450. MTX amp just blew so Im gonna have to deal with that. And that damn headliner just fell too. The heat I guess.

I will be in S FLS probably later in the summer. Im going to summer A school, but going to michigan for summer B term. But Ill be home off and on in between. When i get some dates, Ill let ya know and maybe I can help ya a lil bit. Good Luck with it. Dakotas are good trucks. Talk to you later man.

Josh, first off, what truck do you have??? year, drivetran, engine.

My sunbusters $500 was for the body lift. The 2in spacer lift was $150. from rough Country and then $200 for sunbusters install. I wish I got it for 500. Thatd been great.

Im tired as hell so Im going to sleep. Talk to ya later.
