I got mine installed for $350 & to me that is a little expensive but everywhere else around me wanted close to 400. I am prone to tear things up and didnt feel like trying to put one on myself. I heard it was easy but I chose the easy way, it was worth it. that is my .02

I got my kit, parts, installation, and alignment for $250 at a 4x4 shop in Jacksonville. Worth it to me cuz I did not have to spend several hours in my garage dirty and cussing

Wow thats a good price . Go for it. Wheel alignment should be no more than $100. Got mine done for $119(alignment) With a 3yr Warranty. I`ve already use it 3 times.

I would definitly shop around if I were you for an alignment. 100 bucks seems expensive. I got mine done for 50. Just call around you should find cheaper.

With the proper tools and some beer it was quite easy. Even though I had a hell of a time on one side.

Well sence everyone brought this here I might as well ask a question to yall. What's a good price for a leveling kit? what brand is good? Also what is a good brand of shocks for the front? I want to beed up the front shocks because of the tires and I can be a little rough. I have 285/65R16 BFG ATs on my 2003 4x2 F150 with air bags on the rear suspension.
