    Guys

    In your expirence.....how long would it take to install the following

    Front coil overs and new upper control arms......rear overload springs and new shocks?

    Complete alignment to properly setup truck after.....

    This is on a new truck no rust etc issues work done by professional at a shop

    But if you're looking for the time frame by a professional, you would be best served contacting the actual shop(s) for an estimate. This may involve using a telephone...

    Yes I've made a phone call but in the rural area I am in not that much custom work gets done so I was looking for some feedback from others who have had the work done and what they were charged in time and/or dollars

    About 2 hours per corner for coil overs and springs/shox.
    Another 2 hours for UCA's
    Another 90 minutes for the alignment.

    i did my fronts and rears on different days. i think it was 4 hours for the front (UCAs/coilovers), and 4 hours for the rear springs.

    thats including pulling it in the garage, jacking it up, getting everything out, and cleanup.

    A few hours depending on the heat (Houston sucks balls when it comes to heat) by yourself if you got help it would go a lot faster.
