Cost for Suspension Install?

Im getting quoted 570 for labor to install a stage-3 ICON kit (ext coilovers, rears w/no-resi a rear leaf and the tubular UCA).

Decent price?

 

Sounds reasonable. The icons take some time tweeking to level out. Who are you taking it to?

 

Swat in fremont! ... been trying to find a place between san jose and max sacramento to get this done.

They seem to be regarded pretty well which is what im looking for (quality)

 

Gorge(swat) has done 3 lifts for me. And he has worked on a few of my friends trucks. I paid 500 for my toytec lift install and 600 for the icons because it took him some time to get them dialed in. He isnt a big fan of installing icons or any adjustible suspension. Its alot more work for him. He beat the other install shops I called by half the price. He is a real nice guy.

 

Save some coin and do it yourself. Much store satisfying. Or if you don't have the confidence see if any guys local to you like beer, pizza and wrenching.

 

thanks for the feedback mademan!

leaning more towards having swat do it for me... i have a brake kit i wanted to install as well, but its too costly for them to do that including the other stuff. I also have new wheels/tires to mount and balance.

prolly have them do the the substantial work and then put the brake kit on myself.

 

Keeping in mind that everything's more expensive here in the Bay Area, sounds reasonable. That includes getting the alignment right, right?

Somebody is sure to post up from someplace where skilled labor rates are cheaper saying that you're overpaying.

 

Doesnt include the alignment. This is the price i was given for everything...

Labor to install lift kit 570.00
Alignment 145.00
Mount Tires 135.00
Labor for front and rear brakes 190.00

 

Hey Mademan, so the 600 for the ICON install included the alignment?
