    Going with the one with the aal. The kits includes the rear shocks but I was assuming while I was paying for the labor I might as well get the shop to install new front struts/shocks. it only seems to be some minor additional labor to remove the coil spring and swap out the new bilsteins.

    Is that correct?

    Also shop quotes me a price of $300 labor for the front level, plus alignment $100. that also seems fair. I will do the rear with my son as I figure we could do the AAL w/out any major issues.

    I found the bilsteins 4600 on rock auto for about $80 apiece and that seems really cheap.

    What do yall think?

    You on the right track with some bilstien 4600s as your old ones are probably getting there. As for the front work if you're willing to do the back I'd say the front isn't much different. Yeah you would need an alignment after but the rest is easy enough with a floor jack and a socket set. Oh and for the rear buy a couple of cheap harbor freight c clamps.
