I was wondering how much would a shop charge me to install a 4/6 drop kit? The truck is a 2wd 94 ecsb. I know it varies from different shops and areas, but I just want to get an idea. Thanks for the help.

That does not sound bad. A drop kit alone that I found in the internet was around $750 with shipping. Do you think it is better to let a shop get the kit for me and take care of everything? I am going to a reputable shop of course.

Damn I was quoted $100 per inch. So 4/6 totals 10 inches. $1000 and I bring them the kit. They wanted nearly $300 to bolt in my notch.

So I did it myself. Flip kit took me a while but had never done it before. Notch took 2 or 3 hours and lotta cut off wheels. Front wasnt bad, but I knew what was going on up there, lol.

Thanks for the help everyone. I seen a kit at stylinconcepts.com for $810 including shipping and this kit is a Belltech. Thanks for the link 454ss. I also seen a DJM kit at truckshop.com for $760 with shipping. I would rather get the Belltech for $50 more. Which kit would you guys get?

The only part of my drop that isnt DJM is the front and rear shocks. Every other piece is DJM. And I love it.

either way you'll be good, i have djm spindles, djm flipkit, eibach coils, and belltech shackles, running kyb gas adjust shocks, belltech makes a beefy c-notch compared to the others
