Fair install price on 5100's & AAL??

I was quoted $770 out the door from a local shop to install 5100's on all fours with a 2.5", full length AAL and alignment. I am purchasing the 5100's and AAL from them. Does that sound reasonable to all of you that have a similar setup? Thanks in advance.

 

I had my entire lift put on Coilovers, 5100's, AAL, and UCA's for $500.

 

sounds fair to me. why not save the money and install yourself? its real easy

 

I certainly don't think they're doing you any favors! Others can chime in but that sounds freakin expensive to me. The alignment is around $100 in itself which leaves them $670 in labor just to install.

 

Keep in mind that it includes the price of the 5100's and AAL though. If that makes it any better.

 

the shocks and add a leaf are included in the price.

 

That makes sense then, my bad, I misread the first post. I was going to question you last post when you said it was fair! Parts included sounds alright.

 

Check this thread out:

Ongoing lift install price thread

 

I did mine myself, but when I was first contemplating it I phoned some places to get quotes... they ranged from $450-700 Canadian just for the install and alignment. That is why I did it myself...

 

HELL NO THATS TOO MUCH! install from any shop should be no more than 300 bucks. I paid that once and will never pay for someone to install something so simple for me ever again!

EDIT: sorry did not read the WHOLE thread. 770 for everything is not that bad! But you can still save a lot installing yourself!

DSM 5100 = 275 ish
Toytec aal = 80 bucks
Alignemnt = 75 bucks

Total for parts = 430 which means you can in theory, pay for you lift by simply installing yourself!

 

oh the power of reading...

 

Thanks for the insight fellas. I would like to install it myself however a recent shoulder surgery prohibits that. Plus, I've got another $100 bucks on top of parts for tools and tool rentals. Not to mention a whole day spent because my buddies can't turn a door knob let alone a wrench and I don't want them getting near my truck.

 

do it yourself.......then get it aligned
