My shop said it'll cost $60-$80/hr just to lower my truck. So, I'm assuming it'll be a little more an hour for a lift.

Labor rates vary

Ball park anywhere from $600-$1000

Granted installing an IFS lift is time consuming, but I would not pay more than $500 for install...

yeah Mothers has the best prices on BDS, but Mothers is just a store, they dont have a shop there, so there just the middle man between you and the shops that do the install, thats why there labor rates are so high.

Dont think I want to attempt it myself, probably more than what i want to take on. + I dont have the tools or the garage to be able to get the truck off the ground to do it.


Whats the web address for the mothers store where your getting your pricing for the lifts?

No Rancho lifts at Mothers, just BDS.

I suppose Id pay twice as much if I take it to the ford dealer to have it installed.
Whats the technical level of installing the rancho lift?
Shade tree mechanic...Local repair shop w cert mechanics....ford dealer....????
