Post What did you pay - Bilstein fronts

Trying to capture a sense of the installation cost of these on the current F150s.

If you could put the City/State/Dealership/Store that you had this done, or quoted.

Pep Boys compressed the springs for me, no charge. Gave the tech $30 for his time. Alignment was $75 at a local shop that specializes in steering, suspension and alignment.

Central NJ. Roadrunner in Rahway quoted 285 for install and alignment of front only. Would love to hear someone paying less in NJ

I paid $300 for front installation, alignment and rotation plus balance. The shop also broke both IWE and installed new ones at no cost without me even asking. Might have paid a little more but it's a shop that stands behind their work. I'm okay with that.
