Labor - ball park estimation
guys,
what would be a fair estimate for a labor to build / install the following (this is a 4 door Rubicon 2011)
1) Suspension: Long arm lift kit 3.5" (Rock Krawler), no coilovers. C gussets - welding, axle sleeves install, shocks alignment (if needed)
2) Gears both axles
3) Bumpers install front and rear, fender flares
What should I expect to pay to a good, professional and reliable shop for this kind of project? Since I am new to the US market, I am not sure and a ballpark estimation from experienced folks here would be helpful.
thanks!

If you have parts your going to pay labor rate and that's between 75 on up an hour I think for a long arm kit they say it's 12 hours labor so around a grand labor just for lift install. And you can figure the rest by hour rate as well.
Also thr are a few threads on gear prices all places are different just make sure the shop you go to has a good reputation. I paid right at 2 grand for my front and back gears installed. Parts included. That's on the high side but the shop was highly recommended and the owner went thru everything with me and also changed the gear oil out after 500 mile break in. So I feel that was a fair price.
