Should I do it, $200 seems good but holidays broke me and I'm ordering 22/24's for another truck. What's the going rate on this kinda drop installed?

Well, I did ask him, but he's using a buddies shop because it's so cold outside. He will lower it for $200 and I think that's a good price. He told me it's a good days job.
