Got an estimate from a shop, thoughts?

Like it says. I know I could do it myself, but #1 I live in an apartment complex and have none of the tools, and #2 they offer a 3 year warranty. Probably going to pull the trigger unless you see something I could do better/cheaper.

Well, the labor rate is pretty good. Most shops around here are upwards of $100 or more an hour. I don't see anything that's out of the ordinary.

I will say that the majority of the tools required to do the job are tools you probably should already own. The pitman arm puller and spring compressor are the two that you either rent or have a shop use. I also live in an apartment and do all of my work in the parking lot. It's not the most convenient, but I get by.

Have fun with your "new" truck after the install.

 

Seems very fair to me. I was quoted 850 from the toyota dealership and another shop told me it would take two days.
