Any kit you go with will cost that kind of money if not going with the “standard” shocks. If that’s not in the budget then skip ‘em. I have 5100’s up front because I leveled the truck before I did the full on lift. I actually have the “white body” shocks in the rear, been running them for almost 70k miles. I’d like some better ones but make no mistake, they will do the job.
This applies to whatever brand lift you
choose.
Not sure where you’re located but I got a smok’n deal on my installation......$539 out the door with alignment. That was from an authorized retailer/installer! I did call around and the prices varied wildly............$950 first place, $750 from #2, #3, well, they got my business.
