Yea buying the kit is cheap, but then you have to fix the bumper brackets, extend shifters, lower the radiator, hope your steering shaft has enough length so it doesn't fall out of the slip joint,  its all the little things after you get the kit that add up.

If you get a "complete" body lift it come with bumper brackets, fan shroud spacers, feul filler spacer, steering shaft extension and a piece of steel for the automatic shifter linkage, then you just have to put it in.  They are like $180 compared to the $80 kits.
