He bought them through TireRack for $319. Post #14.
By your comment that would be $250 an hour. Are you high?
I believe Badlands is factory 1 inch suspension lift and 235 tires adds another 1/3 or so inch.
Amaury, just changed springs, or added anything else? Looks good by the way, on that exclusive color?Finally lifted the BS with the H&R spring after researching all type of post around the web, after almost 100 miles it feels and drives like stock without any type noises or clunking sounds, the install was done by a friend that helped me and it was done on 3 hours, overall I am happy with the results and the stance it has now, if you have any questions I will happily try to reply them all, Cheers.
$780 for six hours labor is $130/hr. That's pretty much the going rate for shop work these days.
Yes but like you said maybe 3 hours of work in a shop with a rack.
It really does not matter what the actual install time is, what is the “book rate” for the job. This is how auto mechanics make a better wage. They get better at doing a job by learning/experience and can do it faster than the book time. The customer gets charged the book rate.
yes I do. Do they list how long their kit should take to install? And at this point i am not even sure which kit we are talking about anymore
And i see now HRG reccomends 6-7 hours for the upgraded kit. I'll shut up now lol.
If the shocks will allow it, a spring lift will give you more suspension travel. Springs could also be tuned to be stiffer, or softer, than the stock springs.
What Eric said. Some of the advantages listed could also be considered disadvantages. It depends on what your goals are. If you want better off-road capability more suspension travel is a good thing. If you just want to lift the car without affecting road manners a spacer-based lift kit is probably a better option.
