whats a good estimate

[noxen]

to have a shop install coil spacers in front, and shackles and add in leafs in rear for a 2" lift..i dont want to do it myself because i dont have much access to equipment and i wouldnt be too sure what i would be doing..so anyways i was quoted ~350 to install in one shop..and ive heard others are worried about liability issues..any replies would be really appreciated, thanks guys

The $350 sounds a little steep. That breaks down to 5 hours at $70 per. hour. Installing my shackles and spacers took less than 2 hours. If you figure another 1.5 hours for the add-a-leafs, your still only looking at 4 hours max.

I would second the estimate of 4 hours max, and $70 an hour is more than a dealership. I wouldn't expect it to cost more than $200.
