For those that have had their leveling kits installed...how much are you paying for install with/without alignment?

So far here in the western subs for the Twins Cities, MN I have had quotes ranging from $400 - $600!!!

FYI - I am NOT technical enough to do this my self.

Thanks!

 

$200 with align and balance/rotate tires.Be sure they know that they dont have to disasemble the struts.I would read the directions over before you call a shop so you can give them an idea of what is involved.If they have never done one they will think its alot more work than it is.

 

X2 They were talking like $500 on mine until they took a look at the directions. Did my level, rear aal and alignment for $265.

 

Definately a good idea to have someone else do it. I am not very mechanically inclined and I gave it a shot. after a few hours of messing around, i gave up. My truck is an '04 and the PA winters/salt must have siezed up a few things. Ended up going to a local mechanic (friend of a friend) and he charged me $75 for the install only. He said it was a bear to do (mostly getting things loose). I ended up going with a lifetime alignment at the local firestone shop for about 180 out the door. Figured 2 or 3 alignements and it pays for itself. Will probably try to get aligned every 3k when i rotate the tires.

good luck.

 

If you have some decent wrenches and a big hammer it can be done by yourself. Take off nut... hit knuckle with hammer... remove 3 nuts on top... screw in LK(3 nuts)... screw in 3 nuts to set back into frame bucket...Done

You'll be proud and tell all your friends you know all about IFS.

 

Thank you to everyone for your responses. I agree it should be less than the dealer and others are saying. I will take your advise and bring the instructions.

Thanks again!
