your dealer may be hesitant to do it, and dont be surprised if they turn you down..any reputable shop that works on suspensions can do it, time wise it usually takes an hour-hour and a half- prices have ranged from 50-150 bucks... your dealer may want to charge more...

I agree, unless you are in a small town and know the dealer they may drag their feet. I took mine to a reputal local alignment shop and had the Autospring, rear add a leafs and an alignment done in about 3 hours for a little over $200.

got mine done at dealer, they have a couple of techs that will do custom work. Cost me a little over $300 bucks for AS and AAL install.

I did the autospring myself with 2 floorjacks, a hammer, and half a dozen wrenches. Took less than an hour. Payed $40 to have it aligned when I was done.

My local tire/steering place wouldn't touch it, didn't want to mess with customer supplied hardware (legal liability issues they said).

Ended up doing it with a buddie. No problem if you've got the right tools. First side, 40 mins, second side, about 15 mins.

I've been debating finding a place also in the Houston area. I called B&C offroad shop in Pasadena off of south richey st. They wanted $280.00 that included alignment. I thought it was very high quote.

Let me know if you find a place.

Question Warranty

What about the FORD warranty? Does a front leveling kit void the FORD factory warranty in any way ? Why does FORD make the front so low anyway ?
