I just used the calamini 3" and for $150 it sure saved a lot of time, fab work, and trouble. I read the 3" was supposed to be a bunch more work but I really dont know how much easier it could have been. It was a pretty simple install.

I would not recommend Rocky Road. I ordered their 2" body lift kit last June. I called yesterday and they still claimed they are back ordered. I canceled my order at that point. What I can't believe is the Rocky Road is directly selling the 2" body lift kit on Ebay the whole 3 months time period that I have been waiting. I questioned the Rocky Road salesman as to how they can be listing them on Ebay the whole time. He said that is what the owner wants to do even though they do not have them in stock. I can't imagine how many pissed off buyers they must have by now when you sell something on Ebay and can't deliver for months.

$250 installed is not that bad,especially if you don't want to do it or can't do it.I do not know of any kit that includes the gas tank lift,but the Calmini kit does include the bumper lift brackets.Extending the shifters is not difficult,but if you are not able to cut and weld it yourself it usually cost about $25 to have it done for you.

lighten up, at least the Q was understanable (even with some misspells)
To answer the question, $250 aint bad for a 3" install. It's your money, but at $50 an hour, it's a decent price. I would tho get them to stick to it (especially if they haven't done a trac/kick 3" lift before). I'd wanna ensure they know about the brake line change, the shifters being extended (and still work correctly!), etc.
Personally I wouldn;t trust a shop to get it all correct the first time out.

The Gas tank lift and the Body lift are two different things. Although you need to have the body lift in place before you can do the gas tank lift. The instructions for the gas tank lift are here: http://www.zukiworld.com/month_080102/feature_hagen_gastanklift.htm For the body lift I have been told that the Sky manufacturing is best, and the Calmini kit is good also. They are different designs, I like Sky's stud extensions best. Calmini's lift is based on the Box tubing lift I designed 10+ years ago. If you are interested in building your own lift, here is an article I wrote when I designed the lift. http://home.golden.net/~haida/suzuki/tech/tips/lift.html

Another FYI, the masterkit1 is also a "box tube" body lift for the most part (but it is complete with bumper extensions).
Here's a link (http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/topic,64846.0.html) to the gas tank lift I did in my 4dr ...

yes i could have done the lift and spell check myseelf but i luv all yuor commentz even you Gen Erec
I guess I misunderstood, I thought you posted a question which was almost unreadable because you had no schooling and didn't know there were tools you could use so you wouldn't look like a first grader when you wrote. But instead you were doing it on purpose because you wanted to write like a first grader. Have I got it right now?

All b.s. aside, Sky Mfg. will send you their 2 inch kit to your door for less than $150. Super easy install, unless it was like my rig, with bent to hell body bolts. Took WAY longer than it should have to install, but pretty damn easy to do. My .02

I have seen the 4 page report on this that was submitted for study,and most people did not realize the rearrangement of letters until they were told.It also seems that many special needs persons can read this style of wriring easier than the standard form.No joke intended.

Well this thread may be going a bit far, but TTam(y) has used somewhat correct spelling and at least partial punctuation for the first time. Although I am not sure what the quotes are for, did some famous person say that oxymoron?
