Installed and aligned? I'm going to say close to $550-600, but it will vary, could be less.
The shocks are around $400 shipped, alignments are normally around $60. Someone may install for $100, maybe more maybe less.

If you can hook the cable up to your TV, you can install the rear shocks yourself in about 10 minutes...

I would have to agree with Brian, about $600 buck's total but money well spent. Front requires the use of a spring compressor and can be a little dangerous. You can run up to a 35" tire afterward's on the stock wheels or close to stock spec aftermarket one's on a leveled 4x4. Good luck and get some pics up when through.
