I would be looking for new friends in my area if I were you. It's really not that hard of course I watched my friend on one side and then he helped me with the other. Maybe the company you

Client: "Why are you charging $100.00+ per electrical outlet when I could go to Home Depot and buy it for $5.00"?
Me: "Does that outlet come with the wiring and electrician and insurance and permits?"
Client: "ahhh - no umm but..."
Me: "Ok then..."

i had read on this site and others that, that is what it "should take". i just feel like i was getting price gouged. the lift was like 650..then installed and everything was 1850 total... 1200 dollars worth of labor...

I honestly dont know what labor should cost but I know when I was looking to do a lift I was going with a BDS 4.5" and 35's with 17" rims. I got a price of $7500+/-. I didn't do it because: 1 - I didn't have that much cash; 2 - I was and still am considering TeraFlex; 3 - I am waiting until I get the extra $$$ so I could have it done right and not "cheap".

guess it would be about the same price as payin
for the labor, and I would get a good road trip out of it too.
you get the 3 or 4"? Put it on yourself? Was it difficult?
