Can someone give me a labor estimate in hours to install a Teraflex front leveling kit? I need something very accurate to give to my mechanic.

No, read the instructions, buy the limited number of tools and do it yourself. Cheaper and you get to keep the tools.

Thanks...I have all the tools but I don’t have garage space right now and it’s 30° in Boston.

I would think a shop would charge 2 hours labor. I have changed out my front suspension a couple times in the last few months in my driveway, it is not too bad, if you need a hand I am about 15 miles north of Boston.

Appreciate the offer, I have a good local mechanic who’s honest and asked me to figure out if his estimate was accurate, 2.5 hours. He’s an older German guy who is great. He’s in Woburn. I’m also about 15 miles north of Boston in Reading.

It wont take 2.5hrs. Id bet its a half hour each side if youre on jack stands in your driveway. If its on a lift it would be done before the oil has drained out of the pan completely on a change.

I am in Lynnfield, if you change your mind and decide to do it yourself just let me know.

By myself in my driveway it took me a little less than 2 hours for the actual install and another hour of putz around the garage looking for things and taking pictures. Most friends will help for a six pack and a pizza... YMMV...

His quote was based on him choosing lift kit in his software and dividing it in half.
