Price quote for suspension&front end

I just received a price quote for replacing my suspension and front end components. The place quoted me $1500.00 to replace the following components and have the alignment done:

Rancho quicklifts up front
Rancho RS 9000 rear shocks
Upper & Lower control arms with ball joints on both sides
Alignment

Does this price sound reasonable for a new suspension and all of the front end components?

Doesn't seem too bad but I haven't had it done so I can't compare

I just did struts, springs, and rear shocks on mine. I did it myself and I think I had about 300 in parts. I didn't do the ball joints but I think I can get upper control arms and lower joints for 250 or so.

Struts and shocks took me less than two hours and it was the first time I had done them on one of these trucks - they're just that easy to do.

The price is good. Rancho Quicklift w/ rear shocks is a little over $500. Would try to get the grease fittings for the upper control arms. Not sure why you would replace the lower control arms. I thought you could just replace the ball joint on the lower but I could be wrong. If needed, you might consider replacing the rotors at the same time.

If you have just a little mechanical ability you can do it yourself!! I have never worked on cars before but in the last few months I have installed Bilstein 5100s and replaced just about every front end component. Including lower ball joints, upper control arms, CV axles, hubs, and much more. YouTube videos are priceless and any auto parts store will rent ball joint presses. You get you rental money back when you return It so its free! Everything really is easy to do.
