    Hello fellow Tacoma enthusiasts,

    I am asking for opinions on pricing that I was recently quoted for installing a 3.5" rough country lift kit on my 2020 OR tacoma.

    The quote is as listed: $720 for lift (gets discounts from RC), $350 for labor, & $1070 total without differential drop (Plus $50 additional for the diff drop if I order one and want them to install)..

    The MSRP from RC for the lift is $869.95 without taxes/shipping etc.

    Here is the picture of the lift kit - [​IMG]

    I also will take recommendations for other lift / suspension kits, if anyone has any!

    Thanks

    $350 for labor on front and rear suspension is a good price. Where I am they charge that much for the front only.

    That isn't bad. What about your front end alignment?

    That is a pretty good price. I paid 450 with alignment back in 2014.

    my most recent quotes were 1-1400 for a similar lift install where I live. Ended up doing it with the help of Tw members because that price was way too steep.

    They are not going to do the front alignment due to not having the equipment. I was going to go somewhere else afterwards to be honest.

    Thank you guys for your input! Would any of you recommend I do a differential drop as well? The guys at the shop said it isn't needed probably due to not being included in the kit.
