That is a very fair price for install.

Body lift labor can be on the high side, often just as much as a suspension lift.

Local shop here is about $350 for a PA 3" kit and $350 install and I would imagine that's on the low side compared to most places. To be honest, I've installed three body lifts and I wouldn't do it for $350 and I'm not working steady right now. They are a PIA!

$300 is not a bad deal for a level kit installed. But you can pick one up for about $100 and do it yourself in a couple of hours. Just depends on how much 2-3 hours of your time is worth...

Sorry, my bad, I was thinking $79.95 plus shipping for a set of keys for an '02-'05 4x4.

How about $50 for you 06+ coil over guys:

With all the guys in the DFW area, I would imagine you could find someone to help install it and do it at their house.
