    $500 - $15,000. Depends on who is doing it and what is being done.

    I'll have about $2k into my 47 Dodge doing all the work myself.
    4 slam specialtues bags - $300
    4-link suicidedoors.com - $350
    accuair air manifold - $450
    3/4 hp compressor - $150 (classifieds normally about $300)
    c-notch-airbag mounts- $300
    air tank- lines-gauges- switches- etc $300 (guessing there)

    That's just parts- good parts- not exotic- but good solid parts.

    I also have about $350 in parts when I rebuilt my front suspension. No sense in spending all that money and leaving the rest of the suspension all jacked up.


    Don't forget the frontend alignment

    Hope this helps.

    so many variables. but yeah, i'd say a couple g's. depends too on whether you're going to do it yourself or have someone do it. i'm guessing you're going to have someone do it..?

    Yup, too many. We would need more information.

    You just want a simple setup, or do you want to lay rocker/frame? Auto ride height or manual? Simple controls (front/back) or individual (front/back/side/side)? You have a well equipped shop and are a competent welder? Etc.

    Consider $2500 a floor. It can go way up from there. Way more if you have a good shop do it. Safe and cheap don't go together.
     
  6. my guy charges 2k for your basic setup.
