PepBoys with do it for about i think 140.00 0r 180.00 they will quote you over the phone. They can do the whole thing even adjust the torsion bar for like 35.00. I did my lift myself with some advice from mbeach but did call pepboys to see how much it would cost. I wasnt sure if i was going to have the time. They did do my alignment. but i installed the spring, HD tie-rod, adjust torsion bar and had my geolander m/t+ mount balance at BJ's and i put them on.

In my state of Maine most shops wont install tire on any vehicle unless it is the size stated on the vehicle or one size up.

your stock shocks should be fine mine were. I also did the ball joint flip but may not be needed.

UGH... Pepboys, run far far away! I have never had a pleasant experience with them ever, and know several other that share my experiences.

I did purchase tires from them, and had them mounted on wheels, then carried them away as they did not want to put them on my vehicle, but as you can see, I found a way around that.

The ol buy the wheel/tire package then take em home and mount them works out well.

That price isnt a bad deal for the install, but for what you learn by doing it yourself, I would definitely do it myself, especially when you have soooo many people nearby to help.

All I can add to what's already been said is get it aligned ASAP...

I ran mine without for about a month while waiting for the new tie rods to show up & it shows on the outer tread of the front tires.
That was just driving 2-3 mi. to & from work 5 days a week & maybe 20-30 miles on the wknd.
Got it aligned yesterday & rotated the fronts back.

She drive good now !

Although, the TOD does seem to "flip out" under hard acceleration in low gear.

Loco you are right about that.
I found it rewarding as well. It is good you learn your way around your ride, more so when you are going to drive it hard offroad. I have alot more fun with my Vx now that I have more clearance. next is skid plates and rock slidders.

I will agree with everybody else... Get the wheels/tires then do the work yourself. I just did mine last month.

When I was calling around on mine, most chain shops around here wont install customer supplied parts. I called a private shop and was quoted $250 labor+fluids, to install the brake lines. Did it myself for about $6 in brake fluid and 2-3 hours of my time.

The BJ relocate was the most labor intensive as I rounded a castle nut. The actual lift itself (T-bar crank, springs & rear shocks) only took about 3 hours. I recommend Triathlete's how-to.
