I guess the question is whether they took those same $800 lifters & moved them up to the $1200 price then the $1500 price. In the parts business we typically see an increase every year do the tune of 3-5% but not always on every part, typically the way the price file goes the mfr raises some prices & then when you look at the whole line we can say they took about a 3-5% increase based on the way the numbers flow. The other question that may have already been answered is are they picking the top percentage of every lifter for better or controlled bleed down rated then packaging those up as the $1500 lifter vs the standard $800 lifter? You will pay a premium for that service for sure.
