    I just got my truck back from the dealer for an alignment and asked what it would cost to put new shocks in if I brought them in, they said 250$ flat.

    Real estate lawyers reviewing documents, maybe. Low-end criminal lawyers start at about $2000/day for trial appearances, so that's about $250/hour.

    I didn't count my real estate lawyers...and not sure what they charged me. : )

    One was a divorce lawyer and 3 for minor violations over the years...just wanted to keep my record as clean as possible. :)

    yeah, that does seem very high, My neighbor has a Taco just like mine and had biltz and leafs put on for a lift, local mechanic done it in his garage, I just had him give me the same estimate, $500 for everything, biltz, leafs and labor, WAY cheaper than a $1500 lift kit and looks real nice.

    painted door handles, bilstein 5100's front and back, K&N air filter. Precision power component speakers and Kenwood deck.
    5100 fronts with stock coils installed and aligned for $150 otd. Shop around. The dealership is the last place you should even think about.

    i would say do it yourself, they are not hard at all to install and if you have to put everything together you can pick up some HF coil Clamps to compress the coils to easily put them on the bilies!
