    Mine quoted me $740 in labor and $160 for alignment. This was for add-a-leafs and 5100’s at each corner. This is in Colorado.

    Breakdown like this -

    Fronts $250 each
    Rears $50 each
    Alignment $100
    Taxes and shop fees put you at your $700 price (spacers should have been for free since they removed the wheels anyway)

    Sounds about right.

    Don't forget about removing/cutting U-Bolts, dropping the diff, most likely disconnecting brake lines, installing blocks, putting everything back together. And completely building the fronts...I say the OP got a fair price.

    Lol! Autozone might kick me out!. I might get a second chance. It's getting warmer out. I do want to add new UCA's and front springs.

    The alignment was included in the cost.

    I hear you. Shop close to my house wanted to charge me over a $1000 and advised against the wheel spacers.

    Block install would be covered in the rear shock price. Its a few more bolts than replacing just the shocks but not complex by any means. $100 to replace two rear shocks would be gouging.

    No brake lines need be removed. No one is dropping the diff to lift 2 inches. There is no rebuilding of the front. It is a simple remove front coil overs and install new. Its pretty straight forward work.

    He got a decent price.

    Wouldn’t know. I lifted my truck at a gas station.

    replacing suspension is typically at least a couple hours. An alignment is typically 1.5-3 hours depending on vehicle. Dealers typically charge $230/hr.

    the rear generally doesn’t get touched during an alignment so that would reduce the labor time.
