Almost 100 hours of labor @ $85 per hour. I did work off some of that by helping during the tear down and by doing some of the axle assy work myself. Labor consisted of some suspension fabrication, brackets, etc. Building subframes and belly skid, welding brackets onto axles, etc.
It is what it is. The process was long and involved and as you can see, very expensive. It could have been done much cheaper if I had gone w/ cheaper axles/parts or a cheaper lift but there is no way I would trade my flat belly and contoured arms with all that center clearance for any other suspension system. Using a TJ 231 transfer case and modifying some CV driveshafts would save some more coin too as would finding deals on other stuff like tires & wheels, built, used axles, etc.
Labor of course depnds on the going rate in your area and what you can do yourself.
Before the flames start about what I could have bought for this much money, please understand that I Fully know what could have been. A SFA KJ is what I wanted and I paid the price for it. I will own this KJ until it goes to the junk yard. It is my 1st Jeep and the things I have done, people I have met and places I have been in it are Priceless to me and I would pay double what I have in this Jeep just to have half as much fun as the last few years have been.
