I think if you price it reasonably it will sell fast. I have seen lifted Titans go fast because they were priced right. The ones that sat were because they were way over priced.

Pro Comp lifts are easy to install so that's a benifit to your dealership. If you have mechanics that have spare time, might as well put them to work. So you can see labor as costing your dealership nothing since you are paying these guys anyways. Also since you guys get everything at wholesale you will also make a little extra with the parts. But you can't charge full retail, you charge maybe 10% over cost just to intice buyer, just like you guys do with Nissan Factory accessories. Us online guys are use to paying around wholesale price

Here is the breakdown that I think it would cost us ordinary folks to get our trucks lifted after we leave the lot, my lift costed me this much:
- $1300 for ProComp lift ( I actually have Rancho)
- $600 for lift install and alignment
- $700 for 17" aftermarket Wheels
- $1000 for BFG 315/70/17 tires

That brings the total to $3600. If you guys can offer it for only $3500 extra and provide warranty to match the Nissan Warranty that came with the car, I don't see no reason why these things would not go like hotcakes. But if you did the work and wanted to charge say like $5000 extra, then I think you will have a truck that sits on the lot a long time. Most people who want lifted trucks know what they are getting into and how much they cost.
