Daystar Quote
My neighbor that was going to do my level decided not to help me, so I went to get a quote from the dealer. They quoted me $250.00 to install the daystar, new shocks all the way around, and a reallignment. I'm going to buy and provide all the parts. Does this sound like a fair price to you guys?
Thanks

I paid $305, daystar and allignment included, They have to pull the front shocks to install the daystar so I dont think it should be too much to replace them with new while they are there. Install the rear shocks yourself.

Dont you guys do your own work? There's even directions that come with the kit! The spring compressor and even an alignment gauge are about $40 each. If nothing else, its a chance to have some fun

However, I've seen a lot of posts over the last few months about the new RS9000 Rancho shocks with the adjustable collar. I'm starting to like this option the most. I figure I can upgrade my shocks and level my truck a little bit at the same time. I don't mind a little rake so I would probably use go somewhere in the middle of the 0-2.5" on the collar.
I know some people here have purchased and installed these shocks and used the ajustable collar. What is your opinion of the shock so far? Also, is it worth upgrading all 4 shocks or is it okay to just stick to the front for now?
Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. I would attempt to try it myself, but I had a friend that could of gotten hurt badly when he had a mishap with compressing the spring. So I'm just going to let the dealer do it. Whenever I'm in there next I'm going to make them sign a paper quoting me that price. There a good dealership, and we do alot of work with them, so it should be pretty smooth. Going to wait until the weather warms up though. It's cold here in Mid-MO.
