Default Lift kit labor

Hey guys. I finaly got my lift kit and tires. For my 99 ram 1500 4x4 club cab short bed. For the front I got skyjacker coil springs and a add a leaf in the back. Also four new pro comp explorer shocks. For the tires I went with the 33 inch goodyear wrangaler mtr with Kevlar. What I need to know is about how much this is going to cost me! My mechanics 70$ a hour on labor (just tell me hours and tire monunting costs I can do the math)

Tires vary from 5 bucks, to 25 bucks a tire for mounting and balancing.

Probably looking at four to six hours for the rest of it.

Springs, shocks and an add-a-leaf. Do it yourself in the driveway all you need is a jack, jack stands, a spring compressor (which most auto stores rent, some for free with a deposit) and standard tools. Someone to help would be nice. Shouldn't take you a full day on the weekend...

yea most people do it theirself and save money. but if you cant, then yea most places will can do it in less than 6 hrs. and no more than 100 for the tires. some places will couple the tire alignment in with the lift.
