I am installing this kit for $400. I don't mind you asking. I am pretty open about my rates. They can change, but that is generally related to which exact kit it is...some come with more components. This one for instance has more parts than the Rough Country 6" or CST 6".
I charge $130 to install front only leveling kits (coil spacers, strut spacers, torsion keys), and $180 to install front kits and rear lift blocks. The prices are generally the same whether you replace the shocks or not as they usually have to be disconnected or removed anyway.

Rough Country has their 2.5" front spacers for $100 or front and rear for $200. They have the best deal going.

I have been known to do mobile installs; i.e. at someone else's house. However, 98% of my work is done in Katy at my house.
What part of the great state are you in?

Just my input on Fabtech, for those that were wondering about fabtech, nothing more than my opinion. i thought that they did file for bankruptcy a few months ago, but have found shortly after they are still around, just not nearly as big as they were. Fabtech makes decent products for the most part but we have always called them SAGtech, because theyre coil sag after a little bit of time. I personally havent heard too many complaints about fabtech, but then again i didnt think the ride in my gasser wasnt too bad either until i drove something of quality lol. and after riding in my buddies 2500 with a Carli kit, im getting coilovers for mine lol. rides like a cadillac on a freshly paved highway. but never the less fabtech is still around and other than theyre coils, make a decent product, for the price that is.
