I bought my Moog Upper control arms last night...going to get the Moog tie rod ends and lower ball joints next week to do the overhaul on mine. I went in for an alignment and the shop wouldnt do it with the worn parts on the truck. Unfortunately, they wanted almost $800 to do this job....I told them to pound sand. I will have right at $400 in parts then another 75-100 for the alignment. Plus the added benefit of doing my own work and not some greasemonkey....Highly adviseable!

How much is everyone else paying? Thats been fairly average across the board here...That really sucks now that I truly think about it! Im fairly vehicle savvy, and thought it was high, but they are trying to "tax" me for having a 4wd I bet....scum bags....

Mine was about 65 or 75. I think they bump up the charge for the lifted trucks with the bigger tire/rim combos because tehy might be harder to aligned or to put them where they can stay aligned.
