$350 for complete installation of leveling kit?

is this right? I highly doubt it seeing that the kit is only $100-$125. It can't be THAT hard. Thanks in advance for all replies!

It's not hard at all to install yourself. It only takes about 2 hours for the whole deal.

That seems pretty high. I had mine installed with a rear add a leaf and had the front end aligned for less than $250. I'd check around.

I paid $115 for installation of 4 Bilstein shocks and an alignment.
A typical leveling kit should take very little time for a shop to install.

I paid about 125 for the parts and 59.95 for an alignment. If I would have paid to have it done and it did take two hours (75.00 per hour in most shops these days), it would have been pretty close to what you have been told.

yea I have recieved quotes from 175(actually not a bad price) to 288 by local places but Im not going to pay them that much for an hours work. I have just been to busy with school and helping my pops out at his martial arts school that i havent been able install it on my own. It really should be a rather easy install compared to some of the other lifts I have put on. Im probally going to put mine on this weekend.

Just buy a group of friends some beer and bar-b-q and it sholdnt be too hard to talk them into helping you!!
