According to past discussions the price can vary by a huge amount. It seems to depend on where you live, who you get to do the work, etc.

The shops up here charge $90 per hour or more. Any parts or materials for cleaning, etc they need will be charged out at retail x 2 or better.

Frankenlifts should only take a mechanic about 3-4 hours, (the struts come assembled with the coils). Find a good reputable shop with good rates and go for it.

Or ask around and get a lift party together, I have helped two others now with theirs and have another "paying customer" doing theirs in a week or so

If you have the people and the space and the tools, that is the way to go. I am choosing to have a shop install mine. Plus its a nice lil road trip, to the people that started the Frankenlift.

Wow, that's cheap labor!

I won't do it for any less than a 12 pack of Amber Bock!

He was a Miller Lite man. He actually did so many that he was halfway done before I got back with his beer! He even trimmed out my wheel wells so my 32" tires would fit.
