Yeah, that would probably be right for someone to supply and fit the kit, including modding the radiator. Some of the 4wd companies quote about $400 to supply the kit.

It isnt a hard job to do if you are mechanically minded. Some people just cut the fan shroud, but i prefer to mod the radiator to get it to sit lower.

to easy to do a body lift. Dont see why the bolts will cost $100 :?

Done mine and they cost like $40, yes they are high tensile from coventry.

I used nylon though and that costs around $50-$100 depending on where you get it from. Steel, aluminium, nylon will cost you the same price...blackwoods ;)

You may wish to move your gear stick (if its manual) and drop your radiator. For a 3" you may also need a steering extension (i know a hilux does)

more lift
