Labor cost to install 3.5" full suspension

[Stryker6040]

I know this is going to vary wildly but what are you guys seeing labor wise to install a 3.5" full lift with replacement shocks, steering upgrades and a steering brace. Reached out to a local jeep shop that has a good reputation, first I asked if they could get certain parts and they were not dealers for them but they said they could install just wouldn't warranty the parts since they were not dealers for them. Ok thats cool I get that. Fast forward bought said parts contacted them on quote to install and was given a price of almost 2700 including install, adjustment and alignment.

Whats your thoughts?

I got two quotes before installing my lift. The lowest was $1200 and the highest $1400. At the time I was doing springs, all 8 control arms, sway bar links, both track bars, shocks, and a sector shaft brace. I ended up doing it myself in the driveway. It took several times longer than it would had I paid someone but it was extremely rewarding and I know it was done correctly. There is no shame paying for it but there is also no feeling better than doing it yourself

Shop rates around here are $145 - $200 an hour + tax + shop fees

Most lift kits will give you a ballpark number of hours to install on the instructions.....simple math from there
