    Plan on at least $125/hr.

    {edit} Although, you should hit some shops in your area for firm numbers.

    Some shops won't install parts the customer brings in.

    $100-$150/hour x 4-6 hours depending on how honest and competent the mechanic is.

    With 33s, you're gonna need to do a cab mount chop and some trimming too. Unless you never flex your suspension at all while turning, which an odd number of tacoma owners somehow seem to manage.

    In all honesty, it's not that hard to do yourself. If you can turn a wrench, you can lift a Taco. UCAs are a pain but not difficult.

    What’s more important is the stuff between the two ears.
