leveling kit quote

Postby happyhourhero » Jul 22 2012, 5:45am

That quote isn't too far off. If that includes alignment. I think it's worth it myself. I'll be gettin a leveling kit here sooner or a later via a shop install.

I'll be ordering mine here soon. The quote seems pretty legit to me as long as it includes the alignment as well like happyhourhero said. But from what everyone says it's really not that bad of an install provided you have the tools to do it and have the time to spare. Me and my roommate are gonna tackle it and slap it on there, just like looking at stuff and knowing that I did it ya know (plus im a tight a** too).

which kit is that quote for?

and like others have said, the job is very simple. the only tool that you'd probably need that you might not have is a torque wrench to torque everything back to spec.

That is WAYYYYYYY out of the ballpark for a leveling kit. All you need is 1 hour max. to install it if you never did it before. You really only need to loosen the top strut bolts, upper ball joint nut, sway bar nut, and the 2 bottom strut bolts. Slide the spacer in, install suplied nuts and bolts and then tighten the other back to spec. Definatley not a $325.00 job.....When I do them in my home garage, I charge $150.00 for the front leveling kit and rear block swap.

I do suspension work in my spare time at a friends 4x4 shop and that's what they charge for a body lift install.
