Question ?? leveling kit installation cost ??

just wanted to see the average of what u guys paid to have ur leveling kit installed (new body style f150).. i kno u can do it ur self, but i dont want to invalidate the warranty on the truck, so i was told u can get it installed by a proffesional or whatever and then theres no worries on the warranty.

$150. It only takes about 1-1 1/2 hours. Your warranty will not void by installing it.

I brought my 2 inch AS kit into an alignment shop that had been recommended to me. Maybe I could have installed it myself but knowing that the alignment had to be done afterwords, why not have the experts do it???

The shop mechanic had never seen the AS kit before but he assured me that it was very similar to many other kits he had installed. He had no problem with the kit and actually complimented the design of the AS kit. He only charged me $100 for the whole thing, alignment included. Money well spent as the level kit makes the truck look a LOT better and there has been zero problems.

Cool Leveling Kit Installation Prices

Gaplin Motorsports in North Hollywood, CA quoted me $700 to install Daystar. I more or less just hung up.
