Question Is this Price reasonable??

I called my local 4x4 shop and they said they would install my 6" Fabtech Lift and do an alignment for $850. Does this sound about right???

My body lift was $900, so that sounds good.

It was 900, but that was installing shocks ands cost for new bed bolts because they were frozen.

Do you have any idea how much labor is put into a body lift? If you do and know what labor costs, its a good deal compared to buying a $1500 suspension lift and spending $800 on labor. I bought a $280 lift and spent $900 on labor. Do the math.

i paid six hundred to install my six inch procomp on an 05 supercrew, and a couple of years ago i paid five hundred to install a fabtech on a 97 f150.i would say your prices are high but im from louisiana so maybe location is the difference.

I love working in a truck accessories shop when I finally get a body lift. I can just put it on after hours with the guys in the shop. 200 bucks for a body lift and only a few bucks for the fluids for the guys. Then when I get more money than Jesus I will get a suspension lift and put it on.
