I was quoted $600 for a dobinsons lift no UCA. ended up asking for power tools for christmas, and installed it myself. only thing i paid for was front shock/coil to be assembled and post lift alignment. and now i have a nice set of power tools.
i totally forgot the pan track bar specs but as far as the rear shocks go, the top bolt is 18ft pounds if you can get something in there. the lower shock mount is 72ft pounds.
