I installed it myself in one afternoon by myself. If you have a buddy, it will make it even easier. I did my UCAs, Front shocks, lower ball joints, and HD tierods myself in about 7-8 hours with taking breaks. The hardest part of the whole job was to get the UCAs in the mounting tabs. After that it was smooth sailing.

My guess if you were to have somewhere install it...maybe 3 hours labor + alignment. Call a tire place and see.

that would be the kit...not installation. also, keys are not always needed...that would really make it a pain if you replaced them...but not that bad with the correct tools.

The 1,200 includes installation, which took about 3-4 hours.

I think it would be worth it to drive up there and get it done by Nick, I always think that if you don't know exactly what you're doing it's worth it to pay the extra money or drive the extra distance to make sure you get it done right. From reading this forum Nick definitely knows what hes doing, just my two cents though
