    Everything I’ve seen on here leads me to believe that around $600-700 is common. I just got a quote from a shop here in town that wants to charge me $1000 for the labor to install the OME Heavy set up. Is this sales guy on crack or do I have too high of expectations.

    Do you not have the ability to do it yourself?

    That's steep labor cost for installing bolt on parts. I would suggest you do the install yourself. Renting a car for a day or two if you cant finish it is cheaper than paying for that. Plus, you'll get the satisfaction and peace of mind that you did it and it was done right.

    I'd try posting in your regional section on here. There are many people willing to do it for pizza, beer, or a couple dollars.

    Ok thanks for confirming that I don’t have crazy expectations. Sent out quote requests to a few different shops here and I’ll see what comes back....

    The work is getting done Wednesday. I got 5 estimates that ranged from $3100 to 2500. Four wheel parts in Loveland Colorado got the bid.

    Next up is tires, sliders, and a front bumper. Going with the Falken AT3w’s and a CBI T3 later this summer. Not sure about the sliders... there seems to be a lot of variance on price. I’m OK with weld on’s but not so sure about brand. Lots of rocks out here in Colorado and I want to protect my baby.

    If you're okay with weld-ons look up 4xinnovations. I got my sliders from them shipped for $280.

    Yeah this was leafs, shocks, springs, UCA’s, and bushings. The whole make-over. I just got the truck on the 2nd, and she is very quickly moving towards the functionality we need. Our first trip begins in 3 weeks. Gonna do a little camping test Saturday to see how we like sleeping in the RTT.

    Labor rates vary on location but I would expect $100-250 per corner is a pretty good ballpark including the cost of an alignment.
