Default Quicklift/coilover install. Cost?

My truck is 2000km away from home and my tools and i need to get my quicklifts installed.

Just curious for those who have paid to have this done on quicklift or any other coil over setup thats all together already. What did the shop charge you? And how many hours did they charge you to do it?

I cant see it taking a competent mech longer than 1-1.5 hrs but id just like to see what you guys got quoted for hours so i can weed out the bs when calling.

Thanks fellas

I paid $45 per side to get my ICON coilovers installed by one of our local mechanics. Was a flat rate and no alignment since I have lifetime from Firestone.

that's a good price. I've been quoted anywhere from $100 to $225 per side including alignment. All were Ford Dealerships.

Im fearing the latter price there. $200 with alignment would be decent tho

It's about a three hour job with alignment.

It varies a lot by the area, especially since you're in an entirely different country than me. Our hourly rate (in Canada) is $104 (CDN), and I know there's Ford dealers less than an hour away from us that charge $125/hour.
I have no idea what rates are like in the States - hopefully somebody can help you out.

It's really pretty easy to do yourself....unless you want to be able to blame the dealer if something goes wrong. I did mine myself in a couple hours. If you can turn a wrench, you can save some money.
