Bilstein shop install price

Skubasteve! · Jun 19, 2017

Just curious as to what folks on here have paid shops to install bilstein front level kit. I know I could attempt it myself, but I just dont have the patience/time.

So to anyone who has had a shop install them, how much did you pay for labor, and did that include a alignment?

Just trying to get a general idea so I dont get screwed.

Thanks in advance!

id figure 3-4 hours at whatever the going shop rate is in your area, plus alignment ($75-$150). if you can find a shop to do it for less then that, great, otherwise i wouldnt pay more then that to have them done.

Sure they can. Just tell them it's just installing a new strut. Think I spent $275 with alignment.

I am in NJ and have a set with OEM springs ready to go in. PM me if you're interested. They were used for about 2k miles.

Just for the front!? I don't even have power tools and could do the front in 3 hours by myself and I haven't wrenched on a vehicle in 10 years.

I don't have a labor guide handy but I can't imagine the book time for front shock replacement on a RAM would be more than 1 hour per side.

I ended up doing it myself with the help of a knowledgeable friend. Took us about 2 hrs. The shop I went to here in Okla wouldn't even do it without also replacing the Upper Control Arms... even after explaining the reasons for the Bils instead of spacer kits.

When I had my 2012 quad cab, ntb in South jersey, just the fronts for $400...3 year alignment plan. I did the rears. Not to bad since it's for 3 years of alignments

Local shop quoted a shade over $500 for the install & alignment. That's ridiculous, guess I'll be going to Harbor Freight for a spring compressor kit.

I paid about $200 for install and alignment

DRkNESS · Jun 24, 2017

^^^. Dang was that the front and rear, or solely the front ?

I tried it when my truck was new and stopped when I realized my spring compressor was too small for truck springs. I have yet to find one to try again. Since it's a truck spring and they can kill I wouldn't risk HF set !!

But everyone saying how easy it is, is welcome to come over and help !!! :favorites13:

I rented one from the local auto parts store. Just put a deposit down, get it back when it's returned.
