Is this price outrageous or….?

I'm looking to install this lift kit bundle from Headstrong. Brought a print out of this kit to a local shop. They want $650 to install + alignment. Is it me or does this price seem way high?

(HeadStrong Bundle 4" lift kit (2wd 6 lug)
http://www.headstrongoffroad.com/headstrong-kits-tacoma-05-6-lug.html

Kit includes:

This complete front and rear kit will include the following:
- Maxtrac Spindles w/front brake lines (706840)
- *OPTIONAL* Bilstein Ride Height adjustable front shocks (Part # 24-186711)
- OME Dakar Rear leaf packs (CS047R). Bushings w/sleeves are included for shackle side.
- OME Nitrocharger shocks (60091)
- OME Ubolt kit (OMEU53A)
- OME Carrier bearing drop kit (FK29)
- SS rear extended brake lines (23" length)

 

seems normal, i would personally do it myself. Very easy to install all of those items, brake lines might take a little longer than the rest.

 

I'd charge you much more.

You need to ask yourself what kind of shop wants to deal with putting on customer supplied parts?

 

Does his price include an alignment?

 

I was quoted $450 for a similar kit. No alignment included. From a home mechanic.

 

I would maybe do it if he was throwing in the alignment, but if he's not, I'd do it myself, as always.

 

Too high, do it yourself & $ave IMO.

 

seems like a fair price. Ive read of people paying this price or more for the install of new coils/ shocks and rear leaf springs. I think the install of new spindles is why their price seems high.

side note, if you have a decent set of tools this job seems doable by yourself or maybe ask a friend to help. It'll save you the install price! plus you learn more about your truck
