Tires and a lift

Im looking at getting a 6" full suspension kit and leveling kit installed on my truck, i would like to get it installed rather then myself doing it. Does anybody know any GOOD places to get this done?
Also i want 35" BFG All terrains, anywhere cheap?

Check out National 4WD, Canada's Only Coast to Coast Source for 4X4, Jeep, Light Truck and SUV Accessories for tires...they have some decent prices. Also, while on topic, where are you getting your lift kit? All the kits for my truck are retarded expensive...like $3000 +

i know the gas bill will be stupid but thats something i had to come to realize when ibouight it . Also later when i save some money i plan to get 4:56 gears to help with acceleration etc. with such a big lift/tires. Because i run a 4 speed automatic in the 360c.u. it makes it perfect right now, but not once i have 35's, i don;t think so.

As far as my lift kit goes, im still not 100% exactly but i want either a Fabtech kit, or a Rough Country. Both quoted around $1200us. pluss shipping right from the manufacturer

Be sure to aim your headlights correctly after you get it done. Don't be another dinkus blinding everyone else on the road because you now drive a big rig.

The people in low cars thank you
