Leveling Kit Install/Alignment Price

Hey guys just wondering what everyone paid for a leveling kit install and alignment? I was quoted $375 by a reputable wheel/tire shop close to me to do the install of a Daystar 2" Leveling Kit as well as an alignment and that price includes the cost of the leveling kit, install and alignment which I believe the kit runs about $170. I don't think that seems bad but was just curious what everyone else has paid for a similar job. I know this place does good work and just wanted to see what you guys think.

That sounds relatively reasonable to me..... I paid much more to do that on my '04 back in 2008.

I paid my dealer 450 for the same 2" daystar kit and alignment on my 2012 KR.

Before you have them do it, make sure that they know about the steps they must take to protect the EPAS (if you have it). If they pass this test, their charges seem to be fair as most places will charge you minimum of $85 for an alignment alone.

I only have 300 wrapped up in mine. 80 for the kit, 80 for the alignment and 140 for the install. Only took a few hours for it all.

I did mine myself...no help at all! What a PITA!!! It is doable, especially if you have a friend to help (I have no friends lol)
If I paid for it I would only go $150 MAX for leveling kit labor, then add cost of the alignment.

It's not that bad of an install. Takes a little time that's all. Did mine myself also. Yes it will roast a set of front tires in a couple hundred miles. I am not sure how far it is to your alignment shop, but you should be good to go.

$300 installed

unless you get a killer deal, install yourself if you have the tools. It's really not THAT difficult
