Welp, got the kit yesterday. Dealership is going to put it on tomorrow and warranty for $300. Will post the before/after pictures with measurements when its all done tomorrow. So here is how it all played out.

I am an idiot and hit the "buy it now" option on eBay, having never used eBay I thought it would just add it to my cart so I could check if there are taxes etc. I also saw the kit on Bonanza for $7 less from the same guy and thought, what the heck, $7 is $7. Bought it off there. All on Sunday.

Get an email from eBay asking me to pay for the item a bit later and I was very confused, googled a bit and found out what I really did. I messaged the seller back the same day knowing its Fathers day, expecting to not hear anything, asking if he could cancel the eBay since I bought on Bonanza etc. Thinking I was about to have to pay for 2 kits. He messaged back a few hours later say no worries and he would cancel the eBay order and ship the Bonanza.

I had also asked if he was willing to negotiate any on the price, myself being active duty, with proof of service(I sent a picture of me in uniform). Instead of dropping the price he said he had a kit with the TRD logo's and all still on it and he would send me that as a "thank you for your service". I was very ecstatic because call me stupid but I like the TRD logo because I think it adds a type of "OEM" to the truck.

Sexy as fuck!!!

I have KYB sport shocks up front and Monroe load haulers in the back for my 94 Astro. Let me tell you. This big girl can dance. You are going to feel a world of difference.
 
I'm definitely excited to get them on. Got a steal of a price on them, brand new in the box for $750. Kit retails at $1500

Installed. Didn't get as much lift as I wanted. Still have to measure exactly.

Is that in the Hadnot Point area? I think I have seen that building before! Nice looking truck.
 
Truck looks fine and I wouldn't worry about the lift when it comes to height. Your type of lift, going higher, will only put strain on your control arms, ball joints and transmission drive shafts.
 
Yeah. I wasn't going for too much of a lift. Just comes with the new coilovers since they are rated higher. UCA's are still sitting well within their tolerance.

@MacN8r Yep. HP118 right outside my company office. A street on PT road.
