Default Exhaust Question

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and just bought my 2004 F-150 Lariat last week. I went down to the local muffler shop today and was quoted $250 to run straight pipes with dual stainless steel tips. Is this a fair price? I'll shop around more, but want to get some other opinions. Also was quoted $310 for a leveling kit at another shop, and thought that was a little high. Thanks for the advice guys.

250 for straights is pretty good price but 310 is kinda high because with the right tools it doesn't take long to do

Leveling kits like 1.5 hr labor per side book price around here. 310 for the kit installed seems like a good deal

R/R a strut is an hour per side. I was charged an extra 30 to put my spacers on

Imo, save $210 and install the rough country your self. should be some video's in it. I installed leveling struts and it was easy, should be pretty similar

For not much more than $310 quote you could buy the spacer and 4 new shocks for the truck.
