I got my 1.25 RCX body lift on today and replaced the leveling spacers with the adjustable bilsteins. Nice subtle difference I think. New tires and wheels will go on in the next couple weeks. Also I'll be moving the tips up and putting on a new magnaflow muffler. Here are some pics of it today.

How hard was the 1.25 body lift to install, and what did it run you if you don't mind me asking?

They said the body lift wasn't bad. It's a small shop so I think changing out the struts was the most difficult for them. The whole deal was removing the old spacers, installing the front bilsteins and just replacement rear bilsteins and then the body lift and it cost $300 and took them the better part of a day.

Looks awesome man! I've been thinking of doing the rcx body lift with the bilstein adjustables as well. The pics pretty much made my decision for me!

Wait, the $300 is just labor. The lift I bought for $140. The bilsteins cost me around $300 for all 4. So my total cost installed and parts is right around $750.
