If you have the tools and space, I’d say do it yourself! Spacer lifts are pretty straight forward and easy to install with just jack stands
I have full use of a lift at my dads garage, but install lifts on stands all the time. I’m upwards of 25 lifts now, not including fixing shop/dealership mistakes. There is many tricks to putting lifts in to cut your wrenching time down, a spacer lift I can generally install in about 1.5 hours (unless it’s a rust bucket lol)
If you do choose to use a shop, make sure to research them even a dealer. I’ve had to go to ours to show the tech how to set up and install adjustable arms. Even had one jeep from the dealer come to me because of a bad tire rub. Had a RC kit on it and they installed the arms backwards haha the bend was outwards instead of inwards for turning clearance
But after seeing some of what people pay shops, I think I might need to charge more than a coffee…
