My mechanic will install the HBS 2.5 leveling kit for $250.

Not knowing, but this sounds good to me. Any comments?

Thanks

Doesnt include the alignment does it? I dont know but that seems kind of high to just unbolt some stuff and then add the spacer and then bolt things back up again...I did my own so I cant really say if that sounds reasonable..For me, anything other than free.99 sounds high. Then again the alignment was $70 for me.

Thanks for the input. I am a lousy mechanic. I can turn a simple oil change into a $1000 catastrophe in no time at all, so I will not be doing it myself. This did include the alignment. Again, thanks

Hahaha...no thats fine. I was just saying I wasnt sure about the price since I did mine myself. Since you said that it includes alignment I would say that it is not a bad deal. Do you know anyone that has the tools/knowledge?

That's not a terrible price considering it includes the alignment. I'm just glad I can do stuff like that myself or else there is no way my truck would have any mods.

I would have had to pay just under $300 with alignment here in Canada. But I had it done free. Bought a gift card for $500 worth $875 from friend for a Ford Dealership here. got tires for wifes focus($540) + install of leveling kit and tire rotation ($336) + traded friend that owns a accessory shop an EMAXX R/C truck for the 2.5 inch Leveling kit. So Paid $500 for everything. Sweet!

But back to your question $250 is what seems to be the going rate. If it includes the alignment then that's a good price.

If that includes parts, labor and alignment then your not gonna find it much cheaper than that. I paid $130 just for the leveling kit and then installed it myself for free, but 4 wheel alignment after that was $99
