only problem is, on way to work today, truck shut off and wouldnt turn back on. sounded like it wanted to start, but didnt happen. so had it towed to shop that did brakes to see whats going on. guess depending how much this fix runs, will depend on how soon i can get parts to lower truck
how much you think a shop would charge to put parts in?

I would have no idea in your part of the country what they would charge to install those parts, I would ask a few local shops for quotes on prices to install the parts. That seems like a very good price for those parts.

I would agree about the wheel tire combo first, if you plan on running 15" wheels on it with the parts you found, you will probably have to do a little grinding on the lower control arms to keep your wheels from rubbing them, or at the least, knocking off your inner wheel weights. With the parts you mentioned, you can get by with stock replacement shocks, but you will have to buy shock extenders for the rear shocks. Probably cheaper to just buy drop shocks for the rear and not use the extenders.
