Bring it in to a fab shop, i.e. skg motorsports and the likes. They're in your vicinity and will hook you up.

That does seem high but i'm not in Cali!
The kit is $1700
Figure $100/hr labor
2 skilled mechs should knock it out in an 8hr day... that's $800
Now you're up to $2500
Another ~$200 tax
$2700 seems a bit more fair.

Dude, if you buy that lift I'll help you install it myself. I'd love to see how it all goes together.

if you were a little closer i would be down to help too

If you end up doing this with Syndicate or someone else in CA, let me know. I will give you my cell and you can call me if you hit any road blocks. There is also a thread on XOC where two of us who have installed the lift have posted hints and tricks.

It is a really logical install. Air tools will help, but not necessary. Breaker bar is a must. A mix of deep well sockets too. You will need to borrow or buy a torque wrench if you don't have one.

Calmini estimates the install time for a shop to be 6-10 hours. If you end up paying someone, figure $80-100 per hour...it is $80 in Utah.

If you do it yourself, it will take you more than a weekend, so plan for some down time.
