Message:
I called a local shop about installing my 3 inch body lift, he said that he coudltn give me a quote cuz he didnt know how long it would take, he said it was by the hour, 43 bucks an hour. is this guy trying to rip me off, how could he not know how long it would take, seems like hes just gonna have me drop off the truck, and sit around all day wasting tiem so he can get paid for tiem he didnt work. am i wrong here? does this guy sound suspicious to anyone else?

I agree with Gavin. It is not that difficult. Give yourself a good weekend, read the directions a couple of times and come on here and ask as many questions as you'd like before you start. The only dumb question is the one that you don't ask! I'll gladly answer any questions that you have. Of course, there will be a occasional a**hole that will give you crap for asking some question they think everyone should know, but don't mind them. I had never installed a lift kit before and it took me a solid 12 hours to get it done. Just intalled it this past Memorial Day weekend. What year and style of Dakota do you have?

Install the lift your self. I have installed 6 or 7 body lifts and the dakota is by far the best looking and easiest to install. It took me about 6 hours with a friends help. The instructions are pretty strait foreward. E-mail me if any questions!

yeah man i installed a body lift o na ford ranger when i was 17 and it took me 3 days....when i got my dakota 4x4 when i was 19 it was a lot easier and it took me about a solid 12 hours as well..just read through the instructions and ask questions...people here are great..they really do help...
althought i got quotes at a bunch of local shops...all of them gave around a 300$ price quote...but do it yourself...it's a fun and learning experience..
