Question leveling kit installation

Anyone have a rough estimate of how much it would cost to get a front leveling kit installed on a 2001 quad cab dakota 4x2

On a 2wd all that would be are spacers for the coil springs. Not that hard to do yourself.Some basic tools and manual.

I put V8 springs on mine when I had the lower control arm bushings done. Added an inch. But if you already have a V8, then spacers is all you can do.

Do the V8 springs make the ride rougher?
