What else would i need?

This lift looks like a good deal but im sure its missing some key components that are going to jack the price up a bit. What is not included in this lift that I would have to buy to complete it?

How could you jack it up anymore than $1500? That seems higher than normal anyways.

You don't even need the Superlift driveshaft at first, a lot of guys don't get it until the front driveshaft breaks.

If your going to lift your truck why half *** it? I say do it right the first time.

Thats not half-assing it. You won't put anything in danger with not getting the superlift driveshaft at first. He asked what else does he need to get to complete the kit, you can lift the truck fully without the Superlift driveshaft. I was just answering his question.

Well your going to need it sooner or later so might as well sooner so you don't have to mess with anything again. Your already paying $1400ish for the lift. What's another $400?
