its about the going price to lift everything up with it - bullbars, rear bar, sliders if attached to chassis and the cost of fitting and removing everything.

FYI....

blocks... 100 bux(piece of steel cut into lengths and drilled)
bolts ... 50 bux
carton of piss - 30 bux
another carton of piss/bottle of spirits for mate to do front and rear bar cut and weld to suit - 50 bux

all up works out to be 230... i'd budget 250 for something like this and i reckon you'd have a bit of change.

1100 is steep, but you get what you pay for... does that include engineering??

Ritter's quoted me about the same, $1000 approx.
The Rangie Spares kit is $500, and then all it takes is your time!
But you do need to weld for that kit, and your front/rear bars, sliders will still need modifying.

If you really don't want to do anything, then $1000 to cover everything isn't too bad a quote.

The last time I checked Graeme Cooper automotive had a 2 inch lift for around the $230 mark, including bolts and new rubber mounts. You still need to make up the rear seatbelt mounts and so forth.

I would say with that kit about $300 total after you get the bits. Some welding required as all have mentioned here.

there body lifts are quite cheap and they do a lot more extra like welding in blocks on parts of the chassis but i know they are under $800

but call to check speak with adrain.

No welding and kit inc aluminium blocks, bolts (hex head), nyloks, retainers (seat belt brackets) and load carrier blocks will cost you for up to 2" - $350, or up to 3" - $400 changeover on retainers.

Chassis extension block (60mm) for front bar is $150 and are weld on, but will fit most standard rangie bars. Dont need to buy new body mounts just swap the top rubber to the bottom, unless they are too worn.

I am currently out of stock but will have more in around the end of month at the latest.

Cheers
Ben

That's a good kit, and a good deal!
Rangie Spares kit has all that, but you have to weld on the load carrier blocks to the chassis rails, as well as the radiator spacers, but for $500.
I'd be choosing this kit if i had do it again.

Did that include the flares and lift kit, or just the fitting?

Seems pretty good, guess it is a bit cheaper for a two door. Still, you got it all fitted for ~$400 bucks :) Assuming that it was the RS kit and flares?
