Here you go Cruiser. A bundle custom tailered for you.

OTA Track bar
OTK Crossover Steering
3 Link Long Arm with Currie Joints
SYE
Extended Stainless brake lines, front and rear
New U Bolts

With Generic Shocks - 1667
With Bilstein 5100 Shocks - 1895

All you would need to source besides the coils and leafs is tires, rims, and a stock front driveline to run in the rear.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You just said that 2500 for a COMPLETE 6.5" kit with long arms, crossover steering, over the axle trackbar, and SYE is "waaay high". Please explain your throughts. That was a price including coils and leaf springs.

We could build a kit for the OP minus the coils and leaf springs. No problem custom piecing together kits. We have done it for quite a few customers.
Your using completely high end parts, minus the "generic shocks".

Like I said, Chevy 1500 brake lines can be had at the parts store for cheaper than stainless lines. Is stainless better? Yep. They necessary? Not absolutely.

If I had the time to waste I could put something together for less. Will some of the parts be the absolute top of the line best on the market? No.

But the OP seems to have bought used parts to begin with. Obviously he does not need to install this stuff now, waiting for used or open box items is possible.


Would I do it this way myself? Maybe, maybe not. I sure as hell wouldn't be going with a 6" lift to begin with. But, as always, "there is more than one way to skin a cat" as they say.

And I'm not going to "argue" with you on who said what in reference to SYEs.

I asked if you would pay $200-$300 for a SYE. It was suggested thats the cost, I'd never pay that much. My question stands, would YOU pay that as it was already suggested?

Im sorry if I have offended you or something. I was just responding to the statment/question that was made "You pay 200-300". I thought you were stating that I has said that then asking to verify; when really you were wanting to know "Would you pay 200-300". There was my confusion as that changes the question/statement.

To answer your question, no I would not pay 200-300 on an SYE. I would however pay the prices I have listed new as then I would know what condition the shocks, and joints on the kits were in.

Brake line bought new shouldn't leave quality concerns.

It was indeed suggested that a SYE is $200-300. High estimate. Not by your suggestion, but I didnt want anyone feeling left out.

Seeing pics of open box items typically show condition of joints, I have personally seen brand new upper control arms used on a 6 or 7" lift that were picked up from this very forum and are still being used, no issues, to this day. I've never run used shocks, so that is what it is.

The OP paid what for coils and leafs? I would be shocked if he HAD to have new EVERYTHING.
