    Paid $48K - but add on the dealer and factory "packages" and total was $58K.

    More than i wanted to pay, of course, but plan to sit on this and pass along to my 12 year old when he gets older.

    He's already excited and ready to go.

    Suspension install was by All Out Offroad Performance in Pearland 281-485-7003.

    Good shop - pretty busy all the time, but no complaints at all.

    Provided alignment as well - I think it was about $600.

    Tires were from Discount Tire.
