$500 is a good deal for that much work.

Sounds like me. You do learn a hell of alot installing it yourself. I have never done much vehicle work. Only thing I did wrong was not flip my swaybar backup. I had 3 guys helping me. The more you get the better off you are.

The friends I have with "mechanical" skills have done so much damage to their own vehicles in attempt to fix or modify them, that I would trust my mom to help me before any of them.

Hey thanks all, this is good feedback. Good to know you are getting THAT MUCH for $500 in labor. So I guess a suspension will be more like $250, maybe $300 because you probably got a good deal on labor because you spent so much and are having add'l labor than just a lift kit.

I want to get some new rock rails too so maybe I will get them to give me a good deal if I do it all through them and have them do the labor. I will have to give them a jingle tomorrow and get a quote (they're closed today else I would have called already).

Be careful when dealing with 4 Wheel Parts or their affiliates. We were almost ripped off by them and as a result are still stock right now. They are a bit shady and we are very unimpressed with them. Beware of the salesman that keeps saying that he's honest.

I've had 4Wheel Parts do all my work on my JK, never a problem.
Anything that went wrong they fixed. e.i. bent sensor when doing
the 5.13's, they bought new ones replaced within a dey; and steering
stabilizer, they have replaced 2; and have done a handful of
other things for free. I keep going back.

Got my BB installed for $100. That was before I found all the info on this site. Now I do everything.

I think if you want to bang around in the boonies you have a RESPONSIBILITY to get an idea of how things work on your vehicle. If not when you have problems out there you'll be imposing on others to help you. And most will, mind you. But it really frosts my butt when I come across somebody off the beaten path who has no clue and is unprepared. So familiarize yourself with your vehicle, do as much as you can. If you have a shop do something ask if you can watch - this works best at real small shops.

I had a 2.5" Teraflex BB installed at a 4wheelparts they charged $150 for labor and $75 for alignment. I called a few different 4wheelparts and they all charge different prices one tried to charge me $600 for labor! Do a lil research call around to a few places most charge from $200 to $400 for that type of lift.
