first off u have a 4wd so its a strut assembly so u need the strut spacer kit... I built mine for 30 bucks but then i cost me 260 for install at the sealer **** cause i couldnt get any of my 06 front apart. Yah an 06 with less then 80 kilometers on it, all parts were siezed... i was pissed. but yes if i have a prob i will go right to them. i have had it in for 4 months no issues. All they are is two flate plates and a middle spacer that totals 1 5/8, this is straight from a company off ebay. Y pay 80 when u can build one. But in ur case get the right kit and 190 for install and alignment is a good deal,

man, i paid $199 for my 2.5"/1.5" front/rear kit. it took us 10hrs to install just the front. the rear hasnt even been done yet. we didnt have the spring compressor or the right socket sizes, but we still got it done.

Like guys have said if the alignment price is included in that then its a good deal. Im going to school for heavy duty mechanics, I installed my body lift and everything else on my truck and all the work on every other truck Ive owned. I put the leveling kit in in around an hour but I wish I let the shop do it, it ****in clunked and fully extended the shocks and squeaked and a buncha bull****, the front end wobbled like crazy in 4x4.. I ended up takin it back out and sold it. Long story short if they installed it i coulda just kept going back and it was all on there ***, thats the one nice thing about paying a shop to do stuff!!
That 190 is just for install. No alignment or anything like that. I would then have to go to a tire shop and have one done. Sucks. why cant redneck people live near me. The only redneck friend i have has every god damm part and tool in the world lol but works 24/7.

Well, if you think $190 in labor is high, and you are unwilling to do it yourself, then either call around for a better price or just don't level it.
Personally I don't think $190 is too bad, on the higher end of the scale to be sure, but not out of line. With a lift and proper tools, it's still about an hour a side to do correctly. That's two hours labor @ $95 and hour. You'd be hard pressed to find a good shop these days charge much less than $75 an hour...

I paid $80 for install/labor all cash. They said they would install my 3" body for $175.
wish that was closer to me

At least I know that it's done correctly and safely and the warranty won't be affected! Will post some pics when completed and with the new Goodyear Duratracs!
