Dealer Installed Lifts

[OldSchoolBoats]

Was just doing my morning window shopping online and came across this 2500 for sale at our local Temecula GMC dealer.

I think if the dealer installs the parts are warrantied, so that's a plus, but almost $20k for a lift, wheels and tires!!!?? WTF!

Looks like a pretty basic lift too.....

Nice looking truck, but lordy that is some mark up!!

But hey, you get to drive off the lot all done up and can finance it all for 96 months.......[emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

That’s ridiculous.

That particular dealer would warranty the kit. Any other dealer wouldn't so buy close to home.

That price probably also includes wheels and tires.

I can't tell what kind of lift but it's nothing special from the looks of it. (kind of looks like a rough country but the shocks are a little different)

I bet there is 5k in parts added to that truck if you did it yourself.

you tired of your truck already?

It's typically not dealer installed. A truck full of kids goes around to different dealers doing the installs, quality varies by what company they use. The company that did ours (we didn't do many as it wasn't the owner's ideal business model) was a good company at first. It was just the owner of the company doing it. But then he expanded and had employees that didn't have the same work ethic as they guy that owned the business and quality dropped. I know it's nice to get all that rolled into the deal, but it's nicer to choose a quality outfit to install the lift. As far as warranty, Brandin nailed it. You'll be told to take it where you bought it on any items relating to the lift.

Heck no! If I did get rid of it, I would get a half ton and it would be Ford all day!

I purchased a 2003 Silverado from Mountain View in Upland with a lift, rims, and tires off the lot. I believe the dealer charged around $12k for the upgrades. Worked in my favor as I ended up doing a Lemon Law on the truck due to issues with the 4wd. They paid me back every penny of every payment and sold me a 2004 at dealer cost. I then took that one to the same shop that did the original work for the dealer and paid about $6k for the same lift and wheel package. All said and done, I ended up with a year newer truck with a $100 less payment and paid off a year earlier. Sometimes shit just works out!

My 2500 and Jeep Wrangler both had lifts on them at purchase.
made the dealer name install shop (both were done by Tag Motorsports in Vista, Ca) and both were done via a DSI contract, so covered under warranty.
IMO, it comes down to who did the lift. Also I paid less then 50% of the price being asked on the lift, wheels and tires.

This
CST is a good lift. Their shop ( ca super trucks) usually does dealer installs.

Being this ones in the Temecula area and if you were seriously considering buying a truck from a GMC dealer like this then it would be worth contacting member DuttonDave first before going in for the best deal possible mentioning RDP.

Pretty cheap, seem a few dealers with f-250's for 112k with lift.

 

[clarence]

Not a truck guy, but still: $100,230? For that?

LOL

 

[SKIDMARC]

My BIL bought a Sierra with a no name lift like that one with rims and tires. Within 3 years both of the front tires came off while driving. I believe it was either the ball joints or control arm issues. Either way it was a crappy lift. But they did warranty and fix it.

 

[RiverDave]

I'm so old I run stock shit nowadays.. LOL.

[riverroyal]

Most dealers use a outside source. DSI is one of them. They typically have the work done at 4 wheel parts.

I'm not old...but I just got tired of fixing shit constantly. The Mega got a whopping set of Ranch hand side steps, a bedliner, and the thule racks from my old truck moved onto it. I never realized why my dad was so anti changing shit till I got older...now i get it lol.

The huge mark up on aftermarket accessories is by design so you can roll in with your 77 Pinto and they will give you $10,000 trade in value for it. You are stoked beyond belief even though you just got raped.

If that Pinto is a panel wagon with a “ Horse with no name” graphic on it it’s worth every penny!

 

[Runs2rch]

Looks like the normal 65 percent mark up haha.

 

[rivermobster]

NOT dealer installed....

Dealer sent it out and had it installed. Nothing about it will be warrantied. Buyer beware!

From an interior standpoint, the Limited Super Duty blows the Denali out of the water. Chevy crapped the bed on their re design of the Silverado/Sierra interior.

If you blindly sat in each one, without knowing who made it, you would choose the Ford 10 out of 10 times.

The new F150 looks really nice inside. I will reevaluate things once I have this thing for a year. Have had it since October and barely have put 3k miles on it. Kind of a pain in the ass when running around doing things. Gas mileage is meh and I can't just park it anywhere......lol. The kids love it though......lol

I had a 2020 Raptor with every option. I’d take my 2021 Denali interior over it any day of the week.
