Question Rough Country 2.5 pr lift, how long?

Can anyone tell me honestly how long it took to install the basic 2.5 pr coils and 2.2 shocks?
Trying to get a quote from a few shops as it is now about 15 degress out and no garage so doing it myself is kinda out of the question. Some places are trying to tell me it will take all day. I don't see how it could, seems pretty straight forward...
Thanks much

Depends on tools available. Any reputable shop should be able to do it in 2-3 hours with no problem. In your garage (which is not an option for you) probalby 3-4 hours. I did my own on a lift with air tools and taking my time it took me just over three hours.

Keep up updated man! My RC 2.5 Coil kit is great, rides great and gives it just enough lift! Did you catch the Christmas sale or not??
